    Great RC!

    W. Rörhl is a fantastic man.

    Did you do any question about RS model? changes? etc...

    Thanks

    thank you!!



    It was indeed driver heaven, no doubt. What surprised me most was the friendliness of the Porsche employees and of course Mr. Röhrl himself. I can really understand now why people just have to love him, he is one hell of a guy, not a bit arrogant (and he would have ANY reason to be arrogant because he drives like a car god ), always smiling and enjoying the fun. We also had two kids with us in the group, he enjoyed it a lot to do some fun runs with the kids in the car. And believe me...these kids are VERY lucky because I doubt that there would be any other event where kids can do that.

    BTW: we are seriously thinking about getting Mr. Röhrl for a Rennteam.com event. We definetely have the connection now.

    Thanks so much RC, and KF, and everybody, you guys rock! Great report, RC, I must say, I'm impressed with the new GT3, it is one hell of a car, and with Mr. Röhrl behind the wheel, well...no comment! This is certainly something that one must feel, I'm sure it was an amazing experience!

    You really are a man of no luck, when it comes to hairdressers, I guess .
    Btw. are those markings on the tarmac your handywork?

    Re: Rennteam 997 GT3 Driving - Pictures & Video

    RC,
    i'm mainly concern about the clutch. drove terrence's new Turbo last week & was not happy with the ''easy'' clutch. does the GT3 clutch feel heavier than the normal C2S' clutch? how does it compare to the 996 GT3?

    please help me. i'm fighting between the Aston Vantage and GT3.

    The GT3 clutch worked pretty easy, don't quite understand what this has to do with "driveability" of the car.

    I'm also not sure why somebody would want to choose between a GT3 and a Vantage, these are two COMPLETELY different cars.

    No. The "new" clutch is a little bit heavier than the normal C2 one. The old one is much stronger.
