Thought you ladies and gents might like to see a few pics from a trackday I attended at Silverstone here in the UK as a spectator/passenger today. Present and correct were two 997 GT3 RSs, one at 420 miles old and the other 700 miles. Also present; well the pics tell it all. I didn't bother with pics of the Ferraris and Gallardos; didn't really notice them amidst the stunning Porsche presence.

Great day, apart from a major off for a good buddy who really did not deserve such bad luck. He is fine thankfully but the car, a 460bhp 964 C4 Celebration with the Ruf RCT kit, is not so well. Will take some work to repair.

I did some pax laps in the orange car and was fantastic, those ceramic brakes are incredible and the car has monumental grip, despite the very low temps and at times damp conditions here today. Happy to report that everything you've read about the 997 GT3 RS being an epic ride is true, it is planted in the extreme and a superb return to form
