Are you all sitting comfortably?
I am, it's Friday morning and it's a slow day in the (home) office...
So, according to Henry Catchpole in his Evo article, there may (or may not) have been some number fudging going on in the ECOTY 2006, explaining why the Ferrari 599 won that year and not the 997.1 GT3:

Shocking news
:grin:
Interestingly, I happened to listen to a podcast with Henry by Sam Moores, and he placed the 997.1 GT3 in his dream 5 car garage. Chris Harris tweeted a little while ago too that the 3.6 in the 997.1 GT3 was his favourite GT3 engine (I'm paraphrasing, can't remember the exact words)
Would be nice to see more love for this car (I would say that, obvs), the 996.1 & 2 and 997.2 usually seem to get all the glory aperbag:
