GT2 RS Proves More Civil Than Imagined
I have to be honest. The first few times I watched Matt Prior's reviews, I felt a little underwhelmed. Here was a middle-aged man with a gift for language, seated behind the alcantara-wrapped wheel of an exciting sports car, and somehow he made this divine piece of machinery seem clinical, bland, and practical.

For fans of ludicrously-powerful Porsches on the hillclimb, Herbert Pregartner is likely a familiar name.
