Review by CoMod Mike... of the Carrera Evo/D132 Porsche GT3 RSR Felbermayr Proton Competition LMES 2007 (27260/30447)
optics
Selection and implementation of this variant is very well executed and enriches the
previous printings. For me personally, this printing variant is the
The most interesting one for the GT3 so far. The yellow logo doesn't exactly look harmonious
on the vehicle… but it acts as a color contrast on the track that you
not found so often otherwise.
Technology
Body: 30 gr / Total weight: 103 gr
The Porsche is slightly heavier than the BMW Z4 and only slightly lighter than the Audi R10. Looking under the body, you can see that weight-saving measures have been implemented... keep it up! The experts would like the grinders to be a bit lower, but they're sufficient for a production car. The rear unit, which can be removed with a screw, makes engine maintenance and tire grinding easier... a definite plus for me, and especially a relief during testing!
processing
Despite the many details, the printing is clean and so you can
Visually, there are no defects on this vehicle. The only thing that
could be criticized, was shown when removing the tires! Here the
outer half of the 2-piece rim. This is nothing dramatic and can
can be fixed with a few drops of superglue.
Driving behavior
- 8.7 seconds
- 8.4 seconds after tire grinding
Before grinding the tires, there was only a slight bounce on our fast straight. On the wooden track, this is an excellent start. Nevertheless, gluing the rims and tires, followed by grinding them to a smooth surface, is recommended, and will bring improvements not only on wood. Afterward, the car develops a very harmonious handling, and drifting without magnetic effects improves significantly, even if the lap numbers don't accurately reflect this. However, this is also due to the already good concentricity out of the box! Along with the Z4 and Audi R10, the GT3 exhibits the best performance on the wooden track, all of which are thoroughly recommended with appropriate tire treatment on wood!
