Mark Webber Manhandles Porsche 911 GT2 RS on Silverstone Track

Ladies and gentlemen, we are inviting you to enter a land of dreams, as we are about to start a piece of news that can receive the “a match made in heaven” tag, with the word “match” referring to the resemblance of the involved elements. Getting to the point, we’ll tell you that we are about to show you the everyday driving life of Redbull F1 team’s Mark Webber.

So, what four-wheeled creation has been selected to cater for Webber’s transportation needs? A Porsche 911. After all, it could’ve been predictable that a guy like him likes to play with that rear axle. However, the F1 star didn’t choose your average 911. Oh, no. Webber went for the fiercest beast in Porsche’s stable, the 911 GT2 RS.

With a 620 hp flogging the rear wheels, this is the most powerful road car in the German automaker's history.

And it seems like Webber has a big heart, as he likes to share the sensation offered by the rear-engined, turbocharged creature with others. As you’ll be able to see in the video bellow, the F1 star is more than happy to “chauffeur” a few lucky mortals around the Porsche’s Silverstone race track.

What do you drive for fun when you race in Formula One for a living? The answer is the 911 GT2 RS. Formula One star and 911 GT2 RS owner, Mark Webber, talks about why he picked the most powerful production 911 as his car of choice and gives a few lucky passengers, on the Porsche tracks at Silverstone, a lap that they will never forget,” stated the press release.
