Looks like there is a new contender for the RGT Cup: "Scuderia RGT Motorsport" wants to compete in the RGT Cup and the Italian championship with a Porsche 997. As I understand it, it should be finanaced via crowdfunding.

Looking good now all finished:

I think they'll need GT86, 4C, Mustang Ecoboost, and MX-5 R-GT (and bring back the Exige)
Oh, no. Without this in GT classQuote:

Somebody already has ambitions for it - http://www.maxrally.com/2014/12/17/rgt-american-styleQuote:

Guys, are there any videos of the GT cars? I see they are not very fast on the stages of Monte (slower than top FWD cars), but it would be great to see and hear them in action.
What is the max speed and power of a GT car and would it be any good on gravel?
I'm observing youtube last 24 hours for this, but I see mostly Kubica crashes and lots of spamming. The only footage I've seen is at the end of these 2 videos:Quote:

Thanks Stefan! I was looking for the videos myself, but found only some from pre-event tests.Quote:

Francois Delecour and his Porsche on ice&snow (probably the best video of the three):

Yes, this is great indeed, haven't watched it, thanks for sharing. There is also late December PET of Dumas - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAFFv7KpYsI, but for sure Delecour is doing much better in Monte conditions.Quote:

That said he has the newer version of 997 with 4l engine (Delecour has 3.6l I think). I don't know how much that means in real power/torque after the restrictor anyway.
Seems only Delecour is driving the Tuthil Porsche now anyway:Quote:

Romain Dumas has developed one himself:
http://www.romaindumas.com/en/rd-limited-2
I think last year Dumas was driving Tuthil Porsche, so this must be brand new.
Dumas has a road car. Only 600 Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 exist.
Delecour has a Cup car, so a car which has done, f.e. the Porsche Supercup a few years ago.
No Dumas don't drove Tuthill Porsche, he always drives his 997 GT3 RS 4.0.Quote:

Yes, You're right. I don't know why I thought he was driving Tuthil Porsche in Alsace last year, may wrong be info from the forum.Quote:

Dumas' one is sounding better with that bigger engine.

It looks like that. Who cares when it has that sound.....Quote:

Congratulations to Francois! 23rd overall and 1st in RGT. Really great to see him driving that Porsche especially in those conditions.
Only respect to these guys, Delecour mostly but the other two too for participating with these cars!
I'm happy to see that GT class has such a strong start. Monte is definitely difficult event for those cars, but driven by masters can be only joy, even Duez driving just for fun contributed a lot for it. Let's see how it'll progress further.
what rounds are the gt cars doing
Next is barely Ypres:Quote:

I would like to see more from Dumas anyway, his is sounding best, and has different approach to these corners.
For a lot of the time, you'd have thought Delecour was the only 911 in the event.
Thanks for sharing Stefan! This is exactly what I was looking for! By the way, what a place to watch the rally! I measured that you can see each car for over 50 seconds from this spot.Quote:
