Mark Webber: Porsche factory driver/Porsche fanboy

What do you drive for fun when you race in Formula One for a living? The answer is the 911 GT2 RS. Formula One star and 911 GT2 RS owner, Mark Webber, talks about why he picked the most powerful production 911 as his car of choice and gives a few lucky passengers, on the Porsche tracks at Silverstone, a lap that they will never forget.

Mark Webber is midway through his first season as a PorscheWorld Endurance Championship driver, with the legendary Stuttgart manufacturer having returned to sportscar racing this year with their extreme Porsche 919 Hybrid.

When Porsche signed up Webber, they knew they were getting a top-level driver, a guy who’s won the Monaco Grand Prix not once but twice, and who’s got another seven Formula One wins to boast about as well.
