First US delivery. Easier to drive than the GT3. Long car. Incredible sound! Faster than GT3 on Monza by five seconds. Thermal in the heat was about a push but then it is brand new, may be too early to really compare.

If i remember correctly you own an FXX, and I can see a Senna GTR lurking in the garage, is the Essenza a good match on track against them ? Any major differences ?
Too early to compare. I’m in Nurburgring driving my FXXK Evo this week. GT3 is the most difficult to drive. Senna and FXXK Evo perhaps are easier. Speed may well be the Essenza on a fast track like Monza. FXX is slower but so much more is going on with that incredible car.
As compared to my pictured GT3, in the current extreme heat at a racetrack called The Thermal Club (over 100F at times during shakedown), the lap times in the Essenza and GT3 were similar, a push. I said it may be too early to tell because I only have driven the new car two days and 220km. Just one set of tires. As I learn the car better, I can speak more intelligently about comparisons and contrasts. Besides simply learning how it speaks to me, tires and handling, the meter longer car seems to require modifications in line and driving style to benefit in terms of lap times. I will be bringing driving coaches into the mix to help me optimize my approach.
