Why a GT3 or even a GT3 RS?

I have had a chance to drive a GT3 RS for about 2,000 miles from Zuffenhausen down to Nice.

The car handled great going through the hairpins in the Alps. On the Autostrada in Italia I was longing for a TT.

I did encounter a TT close to Monaco and - after a brief race - passed him. I think the TT driver was a chicken because the turns were not that tight. I think he may have been concerned with the tunnels. It is not easy going in and out of tunnels at higher speeds. Also, my wife in her US spec 545 was still within range to take pictures of almost the whole thing.

Spotted a TT and asked for trouble



Closing in



... some # of tunnels later

Great pics, my friend here in Miami has one of the few or maybe only US spec full DOT/EPA approved GT3RS cars in the US.

You are one lucky SOB to be driving a GT3-RS. I'm surprised the 545 was even able to stay within telephoto range!

Not only that, she's a great driver as well. Following a GT3RS and TT with one hand on the wheel.
