Walter Röhrl drives a 997.2 GT3 on the Ring

This is how these cars should be driven on this sort of roads.

I've seen other videos with Röhrl driving Porsches on the Ring but this is the smoothest of all. This car is poised and balanced like no other 11 before. The 997.2 suspension/chassis changes, including the Carreras, are simply awesome.

Are you going to ship your GT3 there (when you get one) for another try Ed?

No, but I might be going back there in the spring and renting one for the day!

I am still not sure I am going to get a GT3, I am a lot like you Ken, not 100% sure what you are going to do. There is nothing wrong with what I have, a GT3 would be nice, but the question is, how much more do I want to spend for a few seconds a lap?

^^I don't know your full mod list, but I bet just the full feeling of the gt3 will make the switch that much more worth it. Also just walking away from it after parking would put a smile on my face everyday!

You're absolutely right. I think you may finally be cured. It seems to me that with tracking, the point is to keep improving your time with whatever car you have.

Who needs a stinkin' helmet! The guys on TopGear are never wearing helmets while they pound their cars and drift all over the track. Helmets tend to be just safety overkill in most situations. If Rohr thought we was really pushing it he would have had a helmet! He was just cruising in someone else's car!
