Awesome cars! Looks like you had a ton of fun there. The Nurburgring is arguably the best public driving road in the world.Scuderia-Hanseat, Nürburgring, Autumn 2015
From Sunday, August 30, to Thursday, September 3, I participated in the Scuderia-Hanseat sports drivers training at Nürburgring. This event has become a tradition and a few petrolhead friends participate every year in the autumn session. To those who are interested in learning the "Ring" and want to participate in a great event, I can highly recommend this training.
The weather was as always in the Eiffel region very mixed, from 38C degrees and sunshine to 14C degrees and torrential rain. We had it all, except for snow, which made the training interesting, to say the least
There were several GT4s there (white, yellow, red, sapphire blue and black). Everyone seemed to agree that a color which produces much contrast with the black details (white, yellow and red) does make the car look more aggressive. The black one I mistook for a GTS several times and the sapphire blue did not have the shine and intensity which I had seen on the photos. I snapped one photo of the sapphire car, but the color is not this intense in real life.
There were also plenty of 991 GT3 and GT3 RS cars, as well as 997 and 996 versions of the same.
The GT4 surprised me once again with its sublime balance and excellent handling. Once the Michelin Cup2s build up heat, the GT4 can take very impressive speed through the corners. The level of grip is quite amazing. I had the feeling even the 991 GT3 could not keep up through the turns. The over-sized brakes offer a late braking point and you can gently trail-brake it into a corner without upsetting the chassis, throw the car into the apex without any hesitation and then go full on the throttle as you open the steering. The car will understeer lightly and you can play with it on the limit, until you have full grip. Both fun and fast! I was pulling 1.5G in lateral force at the most. Pretty impressive, in my humble opinion.
So once again, with the risk of repeating myself for the n:th time, I am super happy with this car! A package of fun with one wheel in each corner
