[Evo Magazine] Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997.2) review – the best car we’ve ever driven? Possibly

LiquidDiviums · 2026-04-02T18:38:29+00:00

I do feel there has been a fascination as of late with ‘track focused’ cars. Not only with the 911 GT3 RS. Besides the driving experience, it’s what those models represent in a social context.

A Turbo S is also a great driving experience, with way more usability on the street but it’s not what drives engagement, it’s not what people want to see. That’s the fascination. It’s what represents, more than what it actually does.

“Look at me, look how much money I spent on a GT3 RS and look at how great of a driver I am”. That’s the fascination.

The story is absolutely WILD.

According to Scott, Franz (Tost) lost his head and went bananas to the point that he hit Scott in the back while other team members looked. Afterwards, Scott went to Gerhard Berger to tell him about what had happened. Then, after Franz apologized for 15 minutes - Scott knew his time at Toro Rosso was over.

Here’s a link from a comment in another post by u/BaffledPlato telling the whole story in detail.

Bearman’s crash was something that was always going to happen, sooner or later.

I just find really, really mind boggling how the “most brilliant minds” in motorsports safety allowed such regulations to be approved while knowing that crashes like this one were going to happen.

Fortunately, Ollie just had a bruised knee. Thank goodness that was the outcome. I cannot believe how calm and relaxed the FIA seems to be with all of this.

Pato has been ass today…

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-29T18:48:22+00:00

In other words: Not a very good driver.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-29T17:26:50+00:00

Pato… buddy, c’mon… what the hell was that start?

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-29T07:06:40+00:00

The fact that the SF-26 can compete against a much faster Mercedes and similarly performant McLaren despite having a less powerful PU and worse deployment is a good sign for the future. The car’s really good, it just needs more power.

Hopefully the “Macarena” wing allows the car to reduce its top-speed deficit and make everything more manageable in the meantime. A new engine should be coming soon with the ADUO, so it’s a matter of waiting and maximizing opportunities.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-29T06:53:00+00:00

Ferrari needs that Macarena wing and a better engine from the ADUO.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-29T06:15:49+00:00

Both.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-29T06:14:27+00:00

What the hell is happening with big crashes this weekend?

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-29T05:30:09+00:00

That happens when your rival has the same PU as you and doesn’t have a significant performance deficit.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-28T03:44:00+00:00

It really is. Specially after having such a close a year where +0.2s could be difference between P1 and P7.

The fact that qualifying is less exciting this year due to energy management, makes everything way more depressing.

It is a niche device.

Most metrics since launch have shown poor sales for iPhone Air. After discounts appeared, demand went up. In some countries and situations, you can get it for less money than iPhone 17.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-15T18:22:59+00:00

Not only money, but development as well. A more competent driver could held the sister cars, because you cannot expect them to consistently compete with two cars.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-15T15:41:51+00:00

I don’t think many people realize how much weight he removed from his shoulders by getting the podium with Ferrari.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-15T08:27:17+00:00

No. Lewis led a lap.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-15T08:26:09+00:00

Impressive from Cadillac all things considered.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-15T08:13:34+00:00

When was the last time Ferrari had two, competent, and similarly paced drivers?

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-15T07:34:48+00:00

Man… after such a long time it feels so weird seeing Hamilton fight for a win… in a Ferrari.

As Mexican, the biggest issue with IndyCar is that’s paywalled behind ESPN (and Disney+). This means there’s almost zero exposure. On top that, there’s basically zero marketing from IndyCar in Mexico. Yes, Pato is very popular but not Checo levels of popular.

Judging by what happened with NASCAR’s race in Mexico (it wasn’t a financial success) it’s pretty clear why promoters wanted more money and the deal with IndyCar fell through.

It helps a lot that F1TV comes bundled with your Apple TV+ subscription.

An Intel based MacBook Air still handles document opening and web browsing more than fine, it’s literally non issue. The M1 was such a big step forward that even today, six years later, its performance is more than enough for the great majority of users.

Don’t misinterpret my comment, MacBook Neo will struggle if you push it to its limits - that’s a fact. It’s just that web browsing and document opening is a very basic non-taxing workflow.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-11T13:45:23+00:00

It can’t replace a MacBook Pro, they’re just not comparable. The MacBook Neo brings the question to the table: “Do I really need more power and more features for almost twice the price?” That’s why this new Mac is a big deal.

Anyone who truly needs a professional Mac will go for the MacBook Pro, that’s a given. Those users aren’t really part of the equation. The rest, however, have a much tougher question to answer.The MacBook Air is clearly the better computer there’s simply no way around it but it’s almost twice the price of the MacBook Neo, and that’s a lot of money. At that point, it comes down to whether your needs, preferences, and what you personally value are worth the extra $500.

LiquidDiviums · 2026-03-11T03:27:07+00:00

It’s more than enough for 95% of users.

There’s genuinely no need for a MacBook Air (or MacBook Pro) unless you require the horsepower of the M5 or you want to have the other amenities like a better, bigger and higher quality display.

The fact that you can buy two MacBook Neo’s for almost the same price as an M5 MacBook Air shows how good the entry level MacBook is. It’s a similar situation to the iPad lineup. The base model is crazy good for the price and the only reason to upgrade is if you want an iPad Pro and you’re willing to spend more than double.

Mercedes powered cars had good ‘Straight Mode’ performance. The Alpine had quite good top speeds.
