    This was my first time driving the GT3, and it was indeed. It is like a challenge car turned up to ... not 11, but maybe 13 or 14. Much more tire, more downforce, and less weight, yes, but also contact patch feedback is better, cockpit and controls are better... I could go on and on.

    Clearest indicator: my *very first* dry lap at Fiorano was a 1:19. And I was a cautious shakedown lap, just getting a feel for the car at that point. I was shocked when they told me how quick I had just gone. It felt like I was out for a Sunday drive...

    I wonder how similar that GT3 is to the 488 GTE, which just scored a 1-2 at Nürburgring? By the way, the AM version was by far the best sounding car of the entire event. It just wails.

    The 458 GTE and GT3 were significantly different; the 488s are extremely similar.

    Just the two XX cars at Hockenheim. But probably all 4 race cars for the finale at Daytona...

    How is your 488 GT3 setup, I assume your running without restrictors?

    Ben it sounds like it is more 'easier' than the 458 race variants in control together with the joy of driving it..

    Will you post any video?

    Doesn't get any cooler than that ..... unless you add some onboard videos of each beast at full song :) Since I'm asking I'd also love to hear your driving impressions of all 3 track beasts and also your driving impressions of your 599 GTO vs. the F12 TDF. Hey can't blame a guy for asking !

    Beautifully shot! They look astonishing caught in motion.

    May I ask, is your engine fully restricting to GT3 rules?

    That first 1:19 lap makes it as fast as a LaFerrari. Not bad considering it has almost 300hp less!

    Holy Cow! Nothing left to put in your Christmas stocking this year! :)

    Is this the same Treynor that was at MBWorld years ago?
