Porsche 997 GT3-RSR to debut at Spa 24hrs
"The 911 GT3 RSR features the body of the 911 GT3 RS, which is based on the Carrera 4. This new bodyshell increases the stiffness of the racing car by ten percent. The newly-developed aerodynamic package improves the aerodynamic efficiency by a total of around seven percent.
the GT3 RSR features the proven sequential six-speed gearbox of its forerunner. Later, the customer vehicles for 2007 will be delivered with a new sequential six-speed dog-type transmission. Amongst other advantages, this gearbox reduces the drive shaft angle which increases efficiency and improves durability."
The suspension with McPherson struts at the front and the Porsche multi-link axle at the rear closely corresponds to the configuration of the standard car. The widening of the mudguards by 50 millimetres on each side allows the use of wheels and tyres in the maximum dimension and an increase of the track front and rear. The new ZF-Sachs shock absorbers build up considerably less friction than conventional dampers and offer an excellent response characteristics"

That's ture, but it won't be easy to beat F430 GTCs next year.
Ferrari leads Porsche in the FIA GT2 Manufacturers Cup by 30 points after three races (69 to 39). A 996 won its class in the 1,000 km of Spa two months ago.
