Rally Islas Canarias El Corte Inglés 2011

[OldF]

In the recent issue of “Vauhdin maailma” there was a presentation of a Porsche 911 GT3 intended for the FIA GT3 circuit. Its weight is 1160 kg but of course a rally version is heavier because of two seats etc. The power of this one is 440 PS.

Yes.....structure of the vehicle, which goes back almost 50 years, the engine behind the rear axle (weight distribution) against laboratory state-of the art (only for rally) designed vehicle, yust rear wheel drive against four wheel drive, at least 150 kg more weight....yes, 911 drivers are heros...lol !!

lololol

The car is not 150 kg heavier because it is not stock GT3. It is Supercup car which has only little more than S2000. The power is around 470 Hp if I have good info. It has double shock absorbers, better suspension kinematics (no mandatory McPherson which isn't good for tarmac), ceramic brakes with 380 mm discs, 19' wheels with 305 mm tyres, traction control, plastic door, windows etc. The biggest problem probably is gearbox because shortest Supercup gearbox has top speed 247 km/h and that is way too much for such twisty roads. 2WD is no problem on perfect dry tarmac with traction control. It's probably even better because 4WD without center differential is understeering from its nature. Also there is much more power lost in transmission of 4WD.

For sure it was the fastest car in Canarias and if Hänninen drove it, he would probably win easily.

+1000
Mirek even with supercup gearbox there is no problem,cause of almost 450Nm torque with very wide curve from 3,8 liter engine.
