Why cant they make this RSR and move engine closer to middle? Sure Porsche is knows for RR eninges, but it would be sweet to see this model with mid engine..
Correct it is Tech 9 Motorsport bassed in Leeds drivers were Sean Edwards and Leo Machitski(originaly uploaded this video to youtube but this person seems to have re-uploaded it for no reason).
It´s a solid fact that the current 997 GT3 RSR model needs speed and a different weight distribution to be able to compete with the Ferrari 430 GT racers, especially their new ´08 model. Just take a look at the possible and confirmed entries for the FIA GT series next year..Almost everyone in the GT2 are switching to 430´s..Sad but true..I´d really like to see Porsche solve their problems, but development of the Spyders seems to have been taken up all their time.
Hate to burst your bubble, but that fine bit of kit is based in England. You can tell A) by the accients and B) the fact that they mention the wonderful English sunshine right at the beginning before off loading the car!!
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
oh, because mostly its RRs not MRs.. well for production wise i mean too
Thanks. I’m sure everyone was wondering what those two pipes sticking out the back of the RSR was. Who knew it was exhaust pipes! lol.
Um, it is mid engine.
Amazing car! Must nice to be able to afford one. Thanks for the video.
That’s an exhaust. Tuning is totally on point.

Hes lucky just to sit in the RSR.
absolutly one of the coolest race cars ever
Ferrari does’t belong on the track, especially not 24h. Thtas the home of rsr 
its compettitive u gotta be stupid
Just to add this video was recorded at Brands Hatch.
Correct it is Tech 9 Motorsport bassed in Leeds drivers were Sean Edwards and Leo Machitski(originaly uploaded this video to youtube but this person seems to have re-uploaded it for no reason).
12hrs sebring porsche took 1st and 2nd in gt2 beating the ferrari and in lmp1 took first as well. Not competitive, learn some history.
in the sebring race 2 first places in GT2 are RSR, and the 430 are behind them
that says it all.
You need to reply to the right person. Read my statement again. You need to reply to- raceteamleader if you want him to see what yuo write.
not competitve, u crazy?? best cars in the world!!!
u r right …. sad but true …. porsche has to work with 6 zyl boxer engine … they cant get more power out of it without turbo or more ccm …

Just curious, what do you mean not competitive! Porsche holds more race wins than any other car manufacturer. Well over 28,000
Beautiful car, but not competitive at all..
