GR86 Is the GR86 a half-price Porsche?
- Thread starter sim61
- Start date
Had a rather good drive earlier in the week, costal road in Dorset (Abbotsbury to Bridport).
No cars for the 9 mile section other than a new 911 Carrera on my backside. Lost him on the twisties, he caught me on the few straights, but never caught me enough to get past
Stopped and had a chat, he was genuinely miffed that he couldn’t do the twisties as quickly as me. I gave him comfort by telling him I use the road a few times a week for pleasure driving

Totally Hooked
After I did a North Wales run with some mates last year, coming back alone heading home a GR Yaris caught me and tried to push me. He was sort of with me on the back road but once we got onto what was my old commuting road I would lose him in quite a few sections and it took him to overtake in a 30 when I'd caught another car. It's a road I've done flat out in every car I've owned and know every inch of it. He was backing off when I was still going. Road knowledge matters a lot but the GR86 is the best car I've ever owned in a corner.
