Review by CoMod Mike... on Carrera the Evo/D132 Porsche GT3 RSR Felbermayr Proton Competition LMES 2007
(27260/30447)
The design selection and execution of this variant are very well done and enhance
the existing liveries. For me personally, this livery variant is
the most interesting one for the GT3 so far. The yellow logo doesn’t exactly blend in harmoniously
with the car… but it provides a color contrast on the track that
you don’t see very often otherwise.
Technical Specs: Body: 30 g/Total weight: 103 g.
The Porsche is slightly heavier than the BMW Z4 and only marginally lighter than the Audi R10. A glance under the body reveals that weight-saving measures have been implemented here… keep it up!! The skids could be just a tad lower for the experts, but they’re sufficient for a mass-produced product. The rear unit, which can be removed with a single screw, makes engine maintenance and tire grinding easier… for me, this is a definite plus and, especially during testing, a real relief!
Workmanship: The printing is cleanly executed despite the many details, so
visually speaking, there are no flaws to be found on this vehicle. The only thing
one could criticize became apparent when removing the tires! Here,
the outer half of the two-piece rim can come loose. However, this isn’t a big deal and
can be fixed with a few drops of superglue.
Handling
—8.7 sec—
8.4 sec after
tire grinding. Before the tires were ground down, there was only a slight bounce on our fast straightaway. On the wooden track, that’s an excellent starting point. Nevertheless, it is recommended to glue the rims and tires together and then round them off—a process that improves performance not only on wood. Afterward, the car exhibits very harmonious handling, and drifting without magnetic effects improves significantly, even if the lap times don’t reflect this exactly. However, this is also due to the good round-run that the car already had right out of the box! The GT3 thus demonstrates the best driving performance on the wooden track alongside the Z4 and Audi R10—all of which are highly recommended for use on wood provided the tires are properly prepared!
