Watch As This 997 GT3 R Screams Up A Portuguese Hillclimb
With his usual Ford Escort steeds in the shop for repairs, Portuguese hillclimber José Silvinho Pires had to resort to using something else for his latest trip to the Rampa da Falperra hillclimb.

As of 2019, Timo Bernhard is the longest-serving Porsche works driver.

A few years ago, we discussed the idea of a GT3 Cabriolet (below). Some of us thought it was a great idea, and others not so much.

CODE BROWN! I'm going to need a change of shorts over here, please. When navigating the infamous Tail of the Dragon, one must exercise a little caution.
