    I'm sure most of you get Excellence and read about this. For those that don't, here's a great video of Walter Rohrl ringing the neck of a GT3 RS in the wet.

    Just something to make you smile midweek!

    That guy is remarkable.

    Wonder what kind of lap time he can do in the wet?

    Under those conditions a paddle shifter would not have made a significant difference. Basically feathering the throttle, so easy to break the rear tires loose.

    Not only no paddle shifter, no electronanies, or gizmoholic doodads that take away from a real "working driver" in his office :)

    Amazing.

    Good to see real men driving real cars around the ring.
    Third pedal and all.

    Now that was a amazing. Certainly more of a hand-full compared to the GT3 in the first post.

    for the most part, most steering/throttle inputs in a vintage 911 in the dry than a new GT3RS in the wet.

    Why is the car moving around so much? Normal?
