Mark Webber drives a Porsche 991 GT3RS at the Nurburgring Nordschleife

I knew that the track was on a private hire, and I also knew that safety marshals had been employed. My natural assumption was “lap record” attempt.

But I was very, very wrong!

Porsche Motorsports driver, ex-F1 star and motorsports celebrity Mark Webber appeared at the wheel of this brand-new Porsche 991 GT3RS.

One tweet back from the man himself confirmed it:
