Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Anyhow, the GT3 won, but I suspect the driver was also the best of the bunch.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This will probably come to no surprise to some of you who race, but I was recently fascinated by a racing video I saw. It was an older copy of Best Motoring which � after 3 years � I finally cracked open to watch. It featured a Porsche 996 GT3 racing a number of exotic and near-exotics. Gallardo, Stradale and an NSX. There were others, but they slipped my mind. It appeared to be the Fuji track with a number of tight turns but had a decent straightaway.
In any case, I was fascinated by how important two things were to the race: brakes and drafting. They called it �slipstreaming� but same thing.
The GT3 managed to stay in the lead with powerful brakes which didn�t fade. The Stradale�s Brembo�s started to go after a couple of laps. It was a private owner�s car, so it may be a maintenance issue. Comments about the Gallardo�s brakes described them as being mediocre. At each corner, you could see the GT3 out braking the cars and thus exiting faster and pulling away.
And given the similar horsepower ratings, it was really amazing the acceleration punch one car would have by drafting, pulling out and slingshoting around. I knew NASCAR drivers draft as a fact of life, but I didn�t realize that it was this effective at lower speeds with aero dynamics which promoted downforce as opposed to top speed.
Anyhow, the GT3 won, but I suspect the driver was also the best of the bunch. He powered away at the start and never looked back. But his comments described the GT3 as being an amazing performer as the race dragged on.
Thought I�d share because I know that I sometimes read magazine articles about high powered exotics with fast acceleration and braking figures. However, I have to wonder how good the car really is after 5 or 6 laps in a racing environment. By the way, that GT3 is LOUD.
Porsches always seem faster than their hp figures would indicate.
All the vids I've seen comparing anything to the GT3, the GT3 is always the yardstick to be measured by.
FWIW you should know that "Best Motoring" is the WWF of automotive testing. The "races" are blatently staged and the "winners" seem to be determined well in advance
