WGA Posted 5October, 2022 Report Share Posted 5October, 2022 Friend of mine in the UK, Kyle Fortune, driving the 992 GT3 RS at Silverstone for 9Werks TV. The hot laps with Jorg Bergmeister are astounding. GT3MEZ, FAP911, LeeM and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 5October, 2022 Report Share Posted 5October, 2022 Great video ,,,,,,love it in Signal Yellow If only I could get an allocation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3MEZ Posted 5October, 2022 Report Share Posted 5October, 2022 Allocation should be controlled by the owner's ability to put it around a track in a decent time, Would weed out the wankers, posers and hoarders. spiller, DJM, TwoHeadsTas and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 6October, 2022 Report Share Posted 6October, 2022 The best video I've seen is Catchpole's one - admittedly haven't watched everything out there yet. Jorg rags it in his video too, Henry's face at the end of the run is funny as hell. Raven, DJM, LeeM and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the CH vid, it was typical of him... predictably, Porsche out does themselves, he says so, says "what a thing" a few times and gets it sideways... Now watching the Bermeister peddle it was something else... that is the video to watch IMO! Thoroughly enjoyed. FAP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 6October, 2022 Report Share Posted 6October, 2022 I have no experience with driving a GT3, and I've only seen videos of earlier models, yet just going by all the videos of Jorg driving it, the initial turn in and grip it looks to have is bonkers! I'll book a passenger seat ride if any of you SA residents are fortunate enough to get one...please! tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to his Nordschleife record lap soon. I watched Kevin Estre in the 991.2 MR over and over, gloriously on the ragged edge. I’m tipping Jorg will go quicker and more aggressive than Kevin and comfortably eclipse his time. Ghe Catchpoles of the world can no doubt drive quickly but this just shows the quantum leap to pro driver talent from us mere mortals. Love it…..

To me at least, the in-car clips with Jorg seem to have quite a bit of initial understeer - you can see him having to correct quite a lot on initial turn in, especially on the slower corners, most likely the result of the cooked rubber. 991 GT3's have a great front end, no doubt the 992 is a leap again. (Dare I say "double wishbone" and all that.........) LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dare I say "double wishbone" and all that.........) Yeah I noticed that, quite a bit of push in some corners……. despite his twiddling of the dials 😀. Mind you old mate Jorg is pedaling pretty damn hard. Jorg at the Ring seems to be gunning for GT2RS lap time. Sounds like a bit of headwind and the downforce are impacting the times. Now show us the final time and in car please rather than just talking and surmising 🙏🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine why.... I would have thought they'd get Estre to do the run, he seems like a serious loose unit (on the track). DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That site completely does my head in...It's either chat about ADM or hypothesising lap times. sleazius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dare I say "double wishbone" and all that.........) Very noticeable in the videos! Randy Pobst had some very interesting insight into the setup approach at Porsche Motorsport in recent times, particularly with the latest generation RS products... he attributes the change in handling to Lars Kern's involvement in chassis tuning & aero, this may go a way to explain this characteristic.
