GT Class

[Mirek]

One detail about the Cayman. Does it have all four wheels same size unlike 911?

[Sulland]

To get this class moving and growing, could it be an idea to allow all homologated/approved GT4 cars, and follow the European GT4 regulations found here: https://european.gt4series.com/gb_en/regulations

They use successballast in GT4, I guess that might be tougher to do in a Rallycar, or is that possible?

If possible drivers would have all these cars to choose from:

Finally an R-GT which looks fast. It would need a bit more power (or less weight) though. And the sound is no match for 911. Anyway I like it.

Tuthill 911 RGT (basically same 3.8 flat six) also never sound as good as any unrestricted 911. Apparently they’re using larger wheels at the rear, like in the racing car. Biggest doubt on this gorgeous Cayman probably is the PDK gearbox; can it be as effective on a rally as it is on a track?

Yep, allowing GT4 homologations (slightly modified) without the need for a complicated RGT homologation sounds great. A different ballast scale would be needed, but any model final Kg/hp ratio should get a bit bellow the uncompetitive 3,4 RGT current figure.

Finally some official news:

@PorscheRaces
The Cayman GT4 Clubsport is just a concept car for rallyes. At the German @wrc round Rallye Deutschland 🇩🇪 we will collect feedback from the rallye scene. The decision if a similar car based on a future model could be developed will be made later in the year.

So, this beauty won’t be homologated and will continue to be tested until they’re sure to make a RGT version of (most likely) the future 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport. Hopefully the decision will be positive and they’ll take next monthes to make their car even more competitive. Fingers crossed.

Btw, some info on the 718 Cayman GT4: https://www.motor1.com/news/258615/p...4-spied-naked/

He had puncture and problems with windscreen visibility...

So, after 2nd day in Deutschland, what are the thoughts of the spectators about the new Cayman GT4?
