I set the Road Atlanta lap record

@randypobstofficial has gotten a lot of very cool driving opportunities but this might be the coolest. @Porsche asked if he would mind trying to set the Road Atlanta lap record in the new 991.2 911 GT2 RS. Be sure to check out Randy's new channel.

I want to find someone who loves me as much as Randy Pobst loves R tires

[kelvarnsen]

Randy Pobst's enthusiasm for cars and in general always makes me smile

[EdBolian]

I have tried many times to love Porsche cars but never been very successful. A pastel orange GT2 RS, though, could really do it for me. Come on...depreciation!

[brettbilger]

The 5 dislikes couldn't get the R tires.

[jalenad]

Most drivers get excited about power and acceleration. Randy is deep into brake feel, balance and grip. He's on another level.

[LapoftheWorld]

Randy is awesome. I had the honor of losing to him some years ago when he made a cameo at a local ETR autocross. He was good enough to jump in a friends stock-ish Legacy GT (IIRC) and proceed to finish top 10 (raw time) in a field full of some then-current national contenders.... but was humble enough to still take a work assignment at a rainy event.

Title should be "Randy Pobst on Importance of Tires."

[TrojanHorse]

When I first saw Randy Pobst many years ago, my first thought was who is this cocky, know it all. I eventually found out that he wasn't cocky at all, he really could drive, and he did know it all when it came to the cars he drove!
Thank you for the story Randy, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thank you to Ed & crew for having Randy on Vinwiki for me to watch!

[flickmybic]

"Corvette's are assy" perfect way to describe the new vette

[fatpad]

Every car Randy talks about sounds like it's the first supercar hes ever driven, whether his Volvo or a GT2RS. His excitement is palpable and infectious

[nukedogger]

ngl, I could listen to Randy talk about car stuff all day long. Suspension, tires, brakes, aerodynamics, etc.

[acrvids]

Alternative intro- "Soft as a baby's butt..and grippy! Vinwiki music starts playing.

[carlswenson]

If Randy Pobst started his own yt channel, he'd have 1M subs by the end of the week

[guskipper]

I wish I could get as excited about anything as Randy gets about downforce being in the right place.

[wallstreetoneil]

That exactly explains why when I modded my 997.GT3.mk1 and replaced the OE LSD with a Guard 50:80 LSD, swapped out the OE Engine mounts for much firmer mounts, removed the rubber from all the rear suspension, and finally installed the RS wing and always ran it at full attack angle, that the car became massively faster and easier to drive at the limit - the car's ass would be glued to the road on entry, even with massive trail-braking and you could trust the rear end to be extremely predictable

[pwrightisright]

I don't believe in reincarnation but I am still interested in what I would have to do right in life to come back as Randy Pobst.

[Tj]

Brilliant little video. "They [Porsche] must be doing something right!"
Love the Pobst

[dansherwood]

Caught up with Randy years ago at the top optima challenge in pahrup nv. He was there with his wife and took 10 minutes to just chat cars and tracking them with us and giving us some pointers on getting the most out of our C5 Z06. Just a cool guy!

[boone]

I drove a GT3 RS in Las Vegas at SpeedVegas, and it was a blast. The seat wrapped around your torso and even with regular seat belts you didn’t move! Totally enjoyable!

[scottt.]

One of the best car-related videos I’ve ever seen. Incredibly entertaining and interesting. Gotta’ love RP! Thanks!
