    I liked it. Good looking car! Not the sound of a GT3 but fine enough for me.

    Yep, Dumas is driving it and it’s also his team (RD Limited) that is running the car, alongside Porsche Motorsport. From the video it’s fair to say that it doesn’t look as good as on the tests (like it was said, as VIP car probably he wasn’t allowed to go flat out) but Porsche aim supposedly is not to win rally’s; they’re trying to provide an alternative rally car that can be fun to drive and watch; looking at our forum friends comments, the second purpose seems already achieved!

    Quite; though even the GT3 version doesn't sound as good as the GTE RSR.....which is ear blisteringly good.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Alpine A110 GT4 has :
    The base weight at 1080 kg, while the main modifications concern the engine -
    1,8 turbo, maximum power climbing up to 360 hp
    aerodynamics with the addition of a splitter and an imposing rear wing.

    could be a very interesting contender in RGT.

    Cayman RGT in comparison
    Combustion engine 3800 ccm Flat-six engine, adopted from the Cayman GT4
    Engine management Continental SDI 9 – engine control module
    Engine lubrication Integrated dry sump with Mobil1 motor oil
    Displacement 3,800 cm³
    Output

    Weight 1,300 kg
    283 kW (385 hp)

    I feel it's up to the FiA to do more to promote the R-GT class; because up until now it's been a damp squib. Maybe now Porsche are showing support for a possible customer programme the FiA might get the message. And when Porsche start showing interest in something, then you take notice. Interesting that Frank-Steffen Walliser was there on Friday....

    The only but very important issue with such car is that the market for cars just for fun is extremely small. Let's be real. For far majority of rally teams buying such car is nothing but a waste of money.

    There are many drivers who only drive for fun but don't have a budget for a r5 car.

    If the price is right, that means lots of horses for an acceptable price, they will sell.

    I keep hearing that for ages but show me any car for which this idea worked. There were plenty of attempts but never ever succeeded. There is as well plenty of cheap old used cars but nobody buys them.
