Spent 4 days at the Ring for the 12 hours NLS race. Had the opportunity to ride in a 992 Cup around the Nordschleife with my mate and me driving the car on the short Nürburgring GP track. I could have driven the Nordschleife too but after 6 years absence and not driven a Cup car since 2018 I didn't want the GT3 cars breathing down my neck, especially as the Nordschleife was wet.
The laps with the Cup made me thinking about the GT3 RS. As the car will surely make most time up in fast corners the question is do you really want to push it that hard in such corners without all the safety gear a Cup comes with? My mate put the Cup on 3. place on the grid among all those GT3 cars during a mixed condition qualifying. The 992 Cup has become that good, fastest lap is a 8.05 (with short GP track) vs 7.51 qualifying record. And having ridden in it in the wet, high speed corner grip is amazing, you can really feel the aero coming into play as in the tight corners mechanical grip prevails (and we run out of it at Steilkurve and spun ;-))
What I want to say, the RS will surely be a monster, also in slow corners with those very wide tires but to really make a difference one has to push in those fast corners meaning when you have an off, you have a big one.
BTW when leaving the Ring yesterday, we saw the new RS undisguised driving towards us, looks very mean, was a dark grey car without WP.
