A spin by the Porsche 911 GT3 RS The onboard video, and the view from the Porsche 964 RS behind It was right on the edge, 10cm from the guardrail. Onboard, plus the view from the Porsche 964 RS onboard The feeling of being inched away from on the straight is just about the same as with a Porsche 993 GT2.

ポルシェ911GT3RSのスピン動画インカー動画と後ろからポルシェ964RSからの動画ガードレールまで後10CMのぎりぎり状態でした。インカー並びにポルシェ964RSのインカーからの動画直線でじりじり離されていく感覚がちょうどポルシェ993GT2と同じくらいのイメージです。

ポルシェ964RSでの自己ベスト1：36：997 自己ベストのタイムを大幅に更新。 WETからドライというコンディションが多く今回は始めて最初から最後までドライでの走行ということもあり、自己ベストを1.2秒程度詰めている。 911GT3RSでの初日の走行で、当初は1：45秒台でしたが 1:40秒までタイムがのびてきましたが、そのときの動画他人様の車なのでほどほどにせめていますが、基本性能が非常に高いため簡単に1：39秒台がでました。
