The unveiling of the first Porsche 911 GT3 in March 1999 at the Geneva Motor Show signalled the start of a new era for discerning sports car drivers. Like no other Porsche 911, the GT3 embodies the hallmarks of Porsche Motorsport.Developed by two-time World Rally Champion Walter Röhrl, race engineer Roland Kussmaul and the Porsche Motorsport specialists from Weissach, the Porsche 911 GT3 brought race track agility to the road. Since then, this road-going athlete has become even faster, more precise and more dynamic with every generation -- and with a naturally aspirated engine, manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, it re-mains the most popular Porsche 911 among purists up to the present day.
Mark Webber has not driven around Mount Panorama circuit since 1995. Now he is at the Bathurst 12 Hour to drive the GT2 RS Clubsport in demonstration laps, as well as support teams racing the 911 GT3 R.
