The boss and me out for a play. The GT3 doesn’t really open it up on the straights, but through the tighter sections the R26.R is definitely faster and easier….
To drive either of these cars yourself, visit http://www.rsrnurburg.com
yeah an average … yeah an average driver in a front wheel drive megane is obviously gonna be able to keep up with an average driver in a porshe as its much easier to keep yourself out of trouble, this track has too many straights for a good handling car vs a fast car to lose it through corners.
Hi everyone- I have … Hi everyone- I have owned 996 GT3 as well as Megane R26- I currently own 997GT3 RS and an R26R- my main domain is the Nordschleife with many 100’s of fast laps there- let me tell you that the R26R is a phenomal car, but it does not get close to the GT3 at any point, if driven by the same driver under the same conditions, same tires. The Megane is a much easier driving car though because more stable.
The official laptimes are: 7m42Sec for the 997 compared to 8m17Sec for the R26R…any questions?
Perso j ai roulé … Perso j ai roulé avec les 2 voitures sur circuit . La R26R ne peut pas rivaliser avec une GT3 . Dans le sinueux , OK , le megane passe aussi fort qu une GT3 tout en etant moins delicate à piloter mais dès qu il y a une relance , la difference est enorme .
Dans cettte video , il est clair que le pilote de la Porsche accelere moderemment en sortie de courbe pour que la Renault reste au contact . Ca n enleve rien aux qualités d une R26R mais faut pas croire tenir une GT3 sur un tour de piste
The Megane is a … The Megane is a lighter, stiffer and a lot more stable car than the gt3rs and hence the increased grip and stability through all types of corners, especially the rough surface ones. The gt3is in all a flawed design for a pure racing machine but is in my view an “alternative” driving experience to the perfectly mastered ferraris and zondas, however the guy in the megane must be absolutaly buzzing as he sees himself catch up to a supercar every corner he goes around
Ah c’est une type … Ah c’est une type 996 GT3 RS car la 997 est redoutable d’éfficacité mais bon bravo quand meme ça reste une traction et avec 230 bourrins comme quoi le poid la rigidité et les pneumatiques font toute la différence..Mais cette R26R m’à l’air un peut préparé…
Over a lap the R26. … Over a lap the R26.R is going to lose 50 seconds here, no doubt. But it’s not wise to dismiss the possibility that the little Renault is slower on every part of the 21km course. Not unless you’ve datalogged everything with the same driver and same conditions…
Over the camber … Over the camber changes and through the slow/medium speed corners the R26.R is all over the GT3RS. It’s only a front-wheel-drive shopping trolley, but it’s got the grip and it’s never out of shape over the crappier surfaces and angles.
Amazing amazing … Amazing amazing amazing! You think the R26.6 could’ve been quicker at any of the corners than the GT3RS? The soundtrack’s cool too, what is it please?
Good video, shame … Good video, shame about the music. I agree with gelnvillethereal; rather have the engines, tyres and comments, but I think Ron is fond of his head-banging rock. Interesting stance being maintained about the relative performances of the cars; I can’t believe Ron driving the Porsche couldn’t out-corner the Megane.

Geo at the time was different to how we have it now, but it was still ballpark excellent.
You make it sound like the only way a GT3RS could be slower than an R26.R at any point is if it’s broken!

There’s no way the R26.R would keep up with a GT3RS around the twisties or higher speed bends.
Either the GT3 driver is useless, he’s holding back big time, or the GT3 needs a geo check done.
