Gateway Racing rents cars, and they have a shop in the paddock at the big track.

A GT3???!!! Have you driven a GT3 before? They aren't as forgiving as an Evo, especially when you turn off the traction control.

When I was in the Porsche world, I saw plenty being rebuilt from track damage.

If you can find someone that's going to rent you a GT3 to use on the track, I'd be surprised.

LOL... I remember doing a skidpad lesson as part of a driving school... and t. here was this guy in his rwd Porsche 911. The point of this lesson was to learn to recover from a skid. Everybody else eventually learned to control their car and prevent themselves from spinning out. The Porsche driver on the other hand just kept spinning out again and again and again... lol

High power plus rwd plus rear engine does not make for a forgiving car... lol

Nope. The GT3 has traction control.
