311RS Onboard: Porsche 911 GT2RS at Spa Francorchamps

Posted on Tuesday, October 30th, 2018

We visited Spa Francorchamps with a fresh Porsche 911 GT2RS picked up for European delivery. A GT2RS at Spa? Chance of a lifetime.

Here is the video:

The car was stock and running the new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires. It is unreal to think a stock 911 can run consistent 2:33s laps one after another.

The car is impressive sitting still.

The GT2RS is currently on Eurpahtes Highway headed to port in Houston. It will be loaded for transport to Minneapolis and arrive by mid-November. There roads here are currently dry and snow-free (!!!).

Plans for the winter include few safety upgrades, setup work to the chassis and engine package.

From there, we’ll be heading south with a few cars to see good friends and set a few baseline laptimes at Road Atlanta, Sebring, and perhaps a few others.

These winter months will be exciting, we’ll be sure to keep the News section current.
