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 add to 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 look harmonious
on the car… but it provides a color contrast on the track that you
don’t often see 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 look 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 production model. The rear unit, which can be removed with a single screw, makes engine maintenance and tire grinding easier… a definite plus for me, and especially a relief during testing!
Workmanship
: Despite the many details, the printing is cleanly executed, 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. But that’s nothing dramatic and can
be fixed with a few drops of superglue.
Handling
– 8.7 sec
– 8.4 sec after tire grinding
Before tire grinding, there was only a slight bounce on our fast straightaway. On the wooden track, that’s an excellent starting point. Nevertheless, bonding the rims and tires followed by rounding is recommended and yields improvements not only on wood. Afterward, the car exhibits very smooth 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 car’s already excellent rounding when it arrives! 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 treated!
