Hello and Welcome to Another Inside EVO: The Monte Carlo Rally is Here!
As we're in the middle of January, rally fans know that this means one thing - it's time for the Monte Carlo Rally. And what makes this year's Monte Carlo Rally particularly exciting is that there's a car that I got to drive, and let me tell you, it sounds absolutely amazing! Having spoken to various people, we think that this car is what rally cars should sound like in the future - no more of the WRC nonsense, just pure driving pleasure.
The Car That I Drove: The Richard Tuthill's 911
I had the opportunity to drive a car that Richard Tuthill has created, and it sounds like a game-changer. The car is part of the new "GT breed" - a category for two-door sports cars with two seats or 2+2 configurations, two-wheel drives, and mechanical gearboxes without limited-slip differentials. This is not just about raw power; there's a specific ratio to work out from Appendix J section 2.56 of the FIA rules if you want to get really technical about it. The main thing to remember is that this car is designed for driving enjoyment, and boy, does it deliver!
Driving Experience: A Porsche-Like Ride
I sat down next to Eureka Tamar, who was testing something else at the camera, while he drove some laps of the stage. Then, I took over and had an amazing experience driving this car. It's based on a GT3 Cup car, which makes it incredibly fun to drive - in fact, it's like driving a 911! The transmission is smooth and precise, with beautifully mechanical gear shifts that are typical of Porsche cars.
The Car's Performance
As I drove the car, I noticed that it had an incredible amount of traction. When you sit on the brake, the weight balance needs to be just right for optimal performance, but as soon as you release the brake, you get a wonderful oversteer effect - which can be both exciting and challenging! The sound system is also noteworthy; when you're in gear, it sounds like music to your ears!
A New Breed of Cars: What's Next?
So, what does this mean for the future of rally cars? With this new breed of cars being developed, we can expect to see more exciting driving experiences and possibly even some rule changes. The fact that these cars are all-wheel drive and have limited-slip differentials will certainly make them more competitive on the stages.
Leaving Your Suggestions: What Would You Like to See?
As I'm sure you're all eager to hear more about this new breed of cars, we want to know what you'd like to see. Whether it's a 4x8 or a two-wheel drive GTR, let us know your suggestions! Leave them in the comments box below and maybe one day we'll get to test them out for ourselves.

should sound like in the future basically none of this known as WRC nonsense no noise our GT is whereas that and Richard tuthill's 911 being driven by Francois Delacour it was driven last year in a couple of rallies in rally france by in rally Germany by Richard himself there's been driven in Monte Carlo this year by Francois Delacour there's also another 911 in their four liter and driven by Roman Duma and they sound absolutely amazing they say they're part of the new are GT breed which is a category for two-door sports cars two seats or 2+2 two-wheel drives essentially will drive mechanical gearbox and can't called diff very simple the crucial sort of power isn't limited particularly but it's it's to 3.4 kilos per brake horsepower is the the ratio need to work out from appendix J section two five six of the FIA rules if you want to get really really geeky about it anyway the main thing is just imagine this down the stage so the person you can see inside the car sitting next to me doing driving for some of it is Eureka Tamar who happened to be at camera doing some testing with something else that day so I sat next to him whilst he did some laps and then most of the rest of it is me driving it's an amazing car to drive it's based on a gt3 Cup car and it's yes it's like a 911 to drive basically so good ones did not as much luck as you probably want but it's it's just so much fun it sounds amazing in gear boxes really it's typically Porsche it's so smooth but precise and beautifully mechanical somehow and it's just an awful lot of fun you've really got to get the weight balance working for you sitting on the brake so knocks in but then you've got so much traction but also wonderful oversteer as well so there we go that's that's a quick introduction to the Tuttle gt3 r GT so I know that's only a very short bit of footage but I thought you'd just like to hear the car in action let us know what you'd like to see in the our GT class you know everything from a four five eight to our two wheel drive GTR how about that anyway leave your suggestions in the comments box below and of course remember if you want to read more about the car then there's a
