Kobalt:
I often do more than 3 laps.

But that might not be the issue: The less things you need to think about when driving the better it is.

You don't have to think about anything. Once the water is gone, the car just drives with reduced power (maybe, only when it is very hot and you already did three rounds or similar extreme stuff), you won't really notice anything (other than up to 50 hp less... Smiley Smiley ).

This rumoured refilling requirement of the water injection reservoir after 60 km of race track usage seems completely ludicrous...sincerely hope that this turns out to be a hoax!

No hoax but the refill is only necessary under extreme(!) driving conditions on a track.

Let's be serious here: Who does the Nordschleife 3x in a row without a small break?!

Well...

Re: 991 GT2 RS (2017) - Rumors, speculations and gossip

I don't see the problem. Just bring some water with you if it's that hard to find it.

If you're tracking your car and want the fastest, best possible times, then you should be prepared to go the extra mile. Anyone serious about track and running long stints should probably bring a whole kit with them to the track day -- tools, tires, fluids etc -- and use as needed. If you show up to your track days on road tires and nothing your ID and helmet, then you really shouldn't even be buying the GT2 RS anyway. Just go buy a GT3 or RS. Why do you need the cream of the crop if you're not even that serious about it in the first place?

3 laps of the Ring lasts more than double that much and you won't approach that consumption on the road...

Not a fan either. I think the front bumper looks a bit dull with that rectilineal design. It´s just 3 very big air intakes.

I do however like the rear.

Lots of carbon ....... even the roof seems carbon and not magnesium like the GT3 RS .

I thought we would see a bigger surprise , like the side air intakes , but actually the camo was only to hide a little bit of carbon .

Interesting how they further improved the aero on the front side bumper just before the wheels .

We still don't know what the air scoops on the bonnet are for ?
