No Porsche cars in Gran Turismo, ever! I beg to differ. As the title suggests, this is a Porsche thread, not RUF. This thread is for the adventurous. You can go full-blown masochist like me or a subtle edit just enough to remove any RUF references and infer Porsche. Watch out for obvious RUF wheels, logos and air intakes. If you want to show your RUF, there are a few wonderful threads for them here on GT Planet, otherwise, this is the spot you want to go.

So, here is my first contribution, a Porsche 986 Boxster in Gran Turismo.

The Racer's Group, a Californian team racing since 1995. The weapon at hand is a Porsche 996 GT3 RS. By 2002 the team was noticed enough by Porsche that it gained support from the factory to run in the Rolex 24 at Daytona. In this eighth try, they finally won their class. This shot represents the team's run for the 2003 Rolex 24 at Daytona. Here, drivers Kevin Buckler, Michael Schrom, Timo Bernhard and Jörg Bergmeister not only won their class but they also beat the more powerful prototypes for the overall win.

Among all classic road going Porsches, the most desirable is probably the 1973 911 Carrera RS (Rennsport). It was the result of Porsches need to homologate the car for FIA Group 4 Special GT racing with a minimum of 500 cars. Customer sales were so great, that they eventually made 1,580 units. The RS came in 4 flavors: RSH (2,117lbs/960kg), RS Sport (2,150lbs/975kg), RS Touring (2,370lbs/1,075kg) and of course, the full-blown racer RSR. The model range was basically a development of the then current Carrera S through various changes in materials, brakes, suspension, bodywork/trim, wheels/tires, aerodynamics and transmission among others. RS's are easily identified by their Carrera script on the side of the car and their "ducktail" rear spoiler. But, its most notable improvement was its engine. Capacity was bored from 2.3L to 2.7L developing 210bph, up from 190bph.

Mark Webber is returning to sports car racing, this time with Porsche in 2014 and new safety features!


Porsche LMP1 Prototype 2014 Nürburgring Nordschleife by Metalsun1, on Flickr​

Back in 1955, Mercedes-Benz crashed at Le Mans with devastating results, the factory stopped racing there until 1998 where they flipped and crashed again in 1999 with Mark Webber, never to return. Porsche flipped their GT1 in 1998 at Road Atlanta, later tried to fix it but stopped racing in the top-tier, LMP1, category until next year. This is a shot of Mark Webber in the new 2014 Porsche LMP1 prototype undergoing certification testing at the "Ring". Extreme precautions have been taken, so just in case life repeats itself, Porsche has prepared an ejection seat. Since he and Porsche have had some flight experience it should be an easy fit.
Disclosure: This Porsche is an un-edited photo from the web. It was announced a couple of months ago that Mark Webber will leave the F1 Red Bull team to drive Porsche prototypes. I am poking a little fun at Mark Webber, so, no whining.
