I don't really know much about the US car featured at all. I'll at somepoint make some time but I hear good things about it. Very.🙂
 
The Porsche 918 is still a blistering car.

Wow the 0-300 time is blistering for the 296 GTB. 17.9sec with Cup 2 is incredible. Very surprised its faster at higher speeds with Cup 2 than the 4S tyres.

Impressive lap time, but abysmal acceleration... and what is this price? I know that in France you pay extra €20k for anything that produces over 184g/km, but even then the price is pretty astonishing.

Shall we do some predictions what laptime Gebhardt will do on the Nurburgring with GT3 RS? I say between 6:53-6:55 and Hockenheim between 1:43,8 - 1:44,3.
