2013 Porsche 911 GT3 Review

My review of the 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 is below. This 991 generation track-focused Porsche is still surprising compliant on the road - firm enough to leave in doubt as to its intentions but also subtle enough to not shake its driver to death.

Great Driving Roads: A4069, Brecon Beacons, Wales

Below is a video showing the excellent A4069, a five mile stretch of road across the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) in south Wales. We kick off with some aerial drone footage followed by an in-car trip across the mountain. 

A few years ago this stretch of road had a 60mph speed limit but I assume there were too many people using the many corners as a race track as it was lowered to 40mph and now average speed cameras have been added to its length to ensure compliance. You don't need to speed to enjoy the road though, and take in the wonderful views on offer (which increase significantly if you're there when it's not shrouded in mist!).
