Model 997.1 Carrera S Year 2005 Acquired November 2012

This month has been split between shooting at the Nürburgring and in Malta. I was over at the Nürburgring with Litchfield Motors for eight days shooting their latest development vehicles being tested – the Carerra T, which now has a host of new modifications, their Alpine A110 and Track Edition Nissan GTR.

Since I last drove their GT silver

991.2 Carrera T it has been lowered with KW suspension, had the full Akrapovic exhaust treatment and also a custom tune to increase power. The results are impressive, and combined with the standard lightweight spec, creates a very fast and precise drive!

It sticks to the road like glue and even with 20mm lowering maintains a very comfortable ride. You wouldn’t even realise it had been lowered from inside the cabin. Over the course of the week I had some great opportunities to capture some lovely tracking shots of the Carrera T sweeping through the treelined, super-smooth German Roads. Just why can’t the UK have roads like these? You can see more of these Carrera T shots on my Instagram.

While we were out at the ‘Ring I had the chance to spend a lot of time at various corners, including Brünnchen and the infamous Karussell. What quickly became apparent is how the ’Ring is almost solely dominated by either Porsche GT or BMW M cars – with the exception of a few Renaults! At one point three green 991.2 GT3 RSS went around the Karussell within the space of 30 seconds on a public session.

An amazing week, I even managed to grab a passenger lap with Porsche and 24 Hours of Nürburgring pro-racing driver Moritz Kranz for a circa 7:20.00 lap! That was an experience I will not forget any time soon.
