Except these Head 2 Head's are not - they are Back 2 Back's.... Head 2 Head is same day same track same time -- and if you pit the GT3 vs the GTR in a 10 lap head to head the GTR will be understeering off into the dust on lap 6 - it is an overweight street car with super restrictive warranty terms

And this is my opinion based on a GTR owner saying so himself

p.s. btw, who is the "pro" clown driving? He spent his entire hot lap sliding the GT3 around. I have yet to see a skilled GT3 driver hotlap like that amatuer.

Wehn will there be a PROPER comparison bewteen the GTR and anything else.

The warranty does sound a bit OTT, Porsche are pretty relaxed with theirs, no running in period for example.

The GTR was new, the GT3 was used.

But that said the GTR did very well against a pretty equal competitor.

I guess we will see the GTR winning in class at LeMans next year.

Seems strange but I never see those drivers at LeMans understeering their Porsches that much.
