Porsche’s updated 911 GT3 R is set to undertake its next testing milestone at the upcoming Creventic 12-hour race at Spa-Francochamps, to be held in two parts across April 19 and 20. The test outing will be held in collaboration with Herberth Motorsport.
“The Creventic Series offers the ideal environment for such an important test,” said said Sebastian Golz, project manager Porsche 911 GT3 R.
“The competition features numerous privateer teams racing at a high level, there’s a lot of track time, and the Spa-Francorchamps circuit poses a formidable challenge for both drivers and machines.
“As a long-time Porsche customer team, Herberth Motorsport can provide valuable feedback on vehicle handling, serviceability, ergonomics and operational functions. We’re also eager to hear the drivers’ impressions.”
The evolution of the Porsche 911 GT3 R builds upon the current model and is set for public reveal in the summer. Porsche says the engineers of the customer racing model have placed a strong emphasis on enhancing driveability.
Modifications to aerodynamic components aim to reduce pitch sensitivity – improving front-end behavior under braking and acceleration. Software updates have also been implemented, and the steering system has been refined by the engineering team in Weissach.
