The 911 GT3 Cup will take over duties from the Ruf RT 12R C-Spec that currently runs in the ‘Ruf Cup’. Official ‘Porsche iRacing Cup’ races begin next week, and based off of initial response, including us making some laps in it, will be very popular. Fingers crossed it’s open setups…
And speaking of racing it, we will be hosting an ‘ISRTV 911 GT3 Cup Fun Race’ with the car today (1/27) at 4 pm est / 9 pm gmt at Sebring (60 min practice, 10 min qual, 20 min race). No password required, and who knows, maybe you’ll get to see yourselves in an upcoming Test Drive…
