First track day for 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR


Flying Lizard, Paul Miller and Falken Tire became the first teams to take the all-new 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR race machines on track as they were wheeled out at Sebring in preparation of the 12 -Hours of Sebring next month.

The new car is wider, runs wider rear tyres and bigger front wheels and needed extra wide bodywork to cover the rubber.

Various aero tricks have also been added to the car including new ducting routes, cooling channels and various downforce enhancement devices are visible.

We think it looks mean and ready to eat the competition. Press release and more pictures after the jump.
