It certainly says something when an F1 driver shells out his own money to buy one. I understand a couple of other F1 drivers have one as well:

Loved the vid. Thanks for sharing.

 

Porsche, got it absolutely right with the GT2 RS.

 

Supposedly only 4 were allocated to Australia. And MW's is one of them.

 

In the video the ignition key goes in on the right side of the steering wheel???

 

i am personal friends with Nigel Mansells son's who are now competing in LMP1.

Leo, Nigel's eldest son told my brother that the Ferrari Scuderia is the closest road car tomatch an F1 car in handling. I wonder how the 2rs stands up against the scud.

other than the lightweight modifications and upgraded power what differences from a refgular 997 gt2??

Here is Leo in the skud! and their race spec gallardo

 

Nice!! I'm jealous of the passengers, that'd be better than any ride at Disney World!

 

That's correct for right hand drive. My TTS is the same.

 

Cool vid, thanks for sharing.

 

awesome video, would love to get a ride with a serious driver like that

 

Would his not be british allocation as he lives in England?

He must have a thing for Porsches as he had/has a turbo as well.

Thanks for sharing. I've always wondered what most of the F1 guys drive on the street.

 

webber is awsome

 

If Nurburgring times are any indication, the Scuderia is considerably slower than the GT2RS. I'm sure it handles "better" in that it's mid-engined and will have a better weight distribution...

 

Sweet!
