FAST GUIDE PORSCHE 991 GT3 RSR

The Porsche 991 GT3 RSR in a photographic guide

The Fast Guide series rests on a single idea: to put as many sharp photographs of the real subject at the builder's hand as will fit onto thirty-two small-format pages. This volume belongs to the circuit Porsche of the 991 generation in RSR specification and serves as picture reference for a build, not as instructions for a model.

The car in the photographs

The 911 in RSR form was the brand's works weapon in the GTE class. It is powered by a naturally aspirated four-liter flat-six, the body sits on the widest possible track and the whole design is built for endurance running: quick changes of parts, night driving and hundreds of laps without a stop. The type collected class wins in the world championship as well as in the American series and is among the most successful circuit cars of its era.

How the publication is used

• The photographs help to establish the interior shades and the layout of the roll cage bracing.
• Shots of the suspension and brakes make working with accessory sets easier.
• The small format can be left open beside work in progress.
• There is little text, as the weight lies with the pictures.

Photographs of the real machine reveal even what tends to be simplified in instructions: the way the fenders are attached, the shape of the cooling ducts or the routing of the hoses around the front suspension. Individual examples of endurance specials also differ slightly from one another, so picture reference helps in choosing the variant you want to build.

Who it is worth it for

For builders of modern endurance cars and for everyone who would rather compare their own example against the real thing as they go than after painting, when a discrepancy found is much harder to correct.
