The anecdote: when the GT3 R revolutionized customer sport
The story of the 2000 Porsche 911 GT3 R is inseparable from a quiet revolution in the world of customer motorsport.

This revolutionary approach allowed many gentleman drivers and independent teams to access a level of performance previously reserved for official teams. The GT3 R quickly became the symbol of the democratization of high-level motorsport , paving the way for a whole generation of customer racing cars.
