Mid September 2025
For you track maniacs out there, here is an excellent opportunity to purchase unique, track ready, low milage Porsche with only two prior owners. A rare Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport is heading to auction. Originally owned by Max Verstappen, four-time formula 1 champion. A mere 200 of these track-only cars were produced. This particular one was also driven by Max’s father, former F1 racer Jos Verstappen. The vehicle was shipped from Belgium to the U.S. in 2022, seeing little use since. It was driven by both Verstappens at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in 2020 during the filming of a Dutch documentary, and has Max’s signature in three locations. Unveiled in 2018, the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport features a 700-horsepower twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and weighs just over 3,000 pounds. Verstappen’s is practically new with only about 1,361 miles on the odometer. The car will be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s and is expected to sell for up to $650,000. You can find the full article from the Robb Report, here Just think how great you’d look great at PittRace, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, or maybe Virginia International Raceway. While you’re waiting for your snazzy new ride to be delivered, there are a number of great activities listed below. MSR registration for the PTC’s December gathering goes live on 9/16 and they would like you to know that seats are limited. Shawn Cressler – Web Support. Sharon Lunney – Newsletter Editor. |
