991 GT2 RS MR driven
We’re at Silverstone in winter and it’s raining, somewhat predictably. It looks like the weather gods are playing the same trick they did last time we met the people from JCR Developments to borrow a car. That was a 991 Speedster which, precipitation aside, impressed hugely. At least today we’ll have a roof over our heads. Currently, said roof belongs to a pit garage where the JCR Developments 911 GT2 RS MR, the car we’re here to drive, is parked. It’s chucking it down outside, so photographer Alisdair takes the opportunity to fill his Canon’s memory card, while I chat to JCR Developments’ founder Jonny Cocker.
The 991 GT2 RS MR replaces the aforementioned Speedster, the car used to aid refinement of JCR’s products for the 991- and 992-generation GT3. Actually, before the GT2 RS arrived, JCR also had a 992 Turbo S, which like all the cars it runs was a rolling test bed. Explaining the GT2 RS MR, Jonny says: “What we’re trying to do is demonstrate how our products can improve cars that are already very, very good.” Somewhat visibly, too, with JCR attending around 30 track days
