It takes something truly special for long-time Porsche factory ace Marc Lieb to overlook the 911 GT3 RSR as his favourite car. Such is his passion for the machine in which he took a remarkable against-the-odds GT2 class win in the 2005 Le Mans 24 Hours with Mike Rockenfeller and Leo Hindery that, together with Rockenfeller, he now co-owns the ex-GruppeM car in which they dominated that year’s FIA GT championship.
Yet Lieb, now managing the sports communication of Porsche, has very good reason for selecting the previous GT3 RS model from the same 996 family of cars instead. And that’s because of events at the Spa 24 Hours in 2003.
