JoeRockhead:With the ADM pushing the price of the car through the stratosphere (if you can even get one), one would be foolish to not look at, perhaps, the 765LT as an alternative.
That's the thing, yes the ADM pricing might pushes the car into McLaren/Ferrari territory, but the other 2 doesn't have cars that's bullet proof on the track.
Yes they can be 'tracked', but that just means doing a 20 minute session occasionally.
The GT3RS can do endless laps without complaining.
The only alternative to the GT3RS is a Cup car, which can't be driven to and from the track, an it requires a support team to run.
Whoopsy:I reckoned it will be even harder for the average driver to extra the max from the new GT3RS. Even with all the newfound suspension adjustments. Most wouldn't even know where to start outside of the basics, i.e. softening one end to give it more grip and vice versa, but even that might proof to be a challenge as the car have separate compression and rebound adjustments.
My guess and hope is that there will be shared setup settings for various tracks to provide a good starting point for the average recreational driver. Online forums and good independent shops could be good resources for this.

The 'standard' setting on the car should be able to cover the majority of the capable drivers out there. Not unlike the previous generations of non-adjustable cars. It's normally how Porsche set their car up from the factory and the setting will work on most of the tracks out there with different drivers.
The 'fine tuning' settings is there for tailoring to specific 'traits' a driver like.
One could publish a setting that's really fast for that driver, but when another driver tried it, it might be too rear happy or pushy in the front and be slower.
Perhaps I like using weight transfer to rotate the car more, I might posted a setting that has strong rebound that move the weight quicker fore and aft, that car could be too sensitive for your throttle inputs. For a driver's that's either on or off throttle applications, a slower rebound is prefer to stabilize the car better.
Verstappen's car setup is known within the Red Bull garage, Ricciardo, Albon, Gasly, Perez are free to copy and start from there. But none can handle Max's preferred settings. Same thing.

Was at the Porsche Museum yesterday to check out the new RS in person. It’s the monster beetle, an RSR with number plates. The car is aerodynamic marvel, it looks cohesive even with that wing. The only pity for me personally is the fact PTS I’m 2023 is nigh on impossible for all 911s as Porsche is far behind in getting all the requests done. Let’s see the rumor has it they offer the heritage package also for ROW and not only for the US so I’d go for that.

Heritage will later come for ROW…so no hurry with the order

Good news then👍
I spoke to my salesman about it today. According to his rumor, only some parts would become available through Tequipment .
Does anyone has a confirmation as to how it would become available ?

PORSCHE - there is no substitute -for ugliness when you wanna go fast. and it's fast, the ultimately engineered Ricer

'Maybe' faster than a Cup car
But I am sure somewhere out there maybe already be a new GT3RS that ran on slicks had set a time on a circuit.

Watt, I agree. The more I view the car the more overwrought it looks.

I can confirm what Frank said, the Heritage/Tribute package will be available for ROW from Summer on.
Had the pleasure to be at the VIP client department of Porsche in Stuttgart last Friday and we could visit not only the Exclusive Manufacture but also where the actually build these cars. Great facilities, we had an awesome time. Some vey special cars were on site, with some cars with PTS Plus colors which potentially will be available in the PTS catalogue according to the head of PTS. We also met the respsonsible person for the 991.2 Turbo S Exclusive, great guy and a Jordan collector like myself. I felt in heaven, dream cars and sneakers, perfect combo!
I've also seen the gold GT3RS in person, that color will be deleted from the PTS catalogue and the car itself will be destroyed!
We also came across a Tribute Package car for the US market which sat outside the factory, looks cool too!
blueflame:Great pics
Any new infos about the „wing-gate“ of the GT3 RS?
Did you see any changes on the DRS-carbon flap on both sides inside the sideplates?
I think that they are developing some sort of metal-reinforcement for the sides…
Blueflame
Hi Frank
I hadn't been aware of the remedy for the DRS so I did not pay attention.The only thing they told me further delays are in the cards so for many they won't have the car ready for this track day season.
My friend is now even pushing out his production date into Jan/Feb 2024 to have then the car ready for the trackway season 2024 and not having the car sit from October on in the garage for the whole winter. This could be a challenge for me as the PTS slots will open later in the year.

Seriously?
Unfortunately they turned down my offer to drive the car for them to save if from the scrapyard.
What I forget to add, the paddle action of the Weissach Package just feels fantastic with the magnetic actuation. As you now can have the WP with painted hood and roof I'm contemplating it although its very expensive. Also the dashboard covered in race tech as well as the door handles in carbon look great. Let's see what they charge to keep the roof unpainted in carbon and only the hood painted, Porsche's probably going to charge an arm and a leg for that.
