The was a bad accident at Schwedenkreuz last week with two complete write-offs, ( no injuries) but it does show how strong the 992RS really is. Of course, if you decide to go there it is entirely your decision and best to know the possible consequences:

However a later new video shows someone attempting to set a really quick lap at the track despite not having experience.
Evidently not short of funds as he has multiple sets of Cup 2Rs which last no time at all, plus Manthey to do the setup.
If does not end well despite all the preparation. A bit overdramatized but you get the idea.

In my own experience the fact that the car is quick does not make up for a lack of experience. I have done well over 100 laps with four RS and while I can remember the track I do not have the ability to bring the car up to maximum performance, in other words, driver limitation rather that car limitation.

Making a car as capable as a 992 GT3RS is amazing enough. But making it as capable as it is, while still allowing a person to walk away from that accident without injuries is just unbelievable.
When I was there last I brought my son for the first time and I had a local blogger, Misha Charoudin take him for a couple of laps in my car . Misha had done thousands of lap there. You can get a sense from the video of just how capable the car is:
