No, this wasn't my car. It is a professionally maintained GT3 RS
Wheels were always torqued exactly to Porsche's instructions

This was a dedicated track car with a roll cage. Both driver and passenger (both experienced club racers) wore three layer fire suits and HANS devices and were strapped into race seats with 6 pt harnesses.
Imagine this happens during a "spirited" drive...

God am I happy that I have "old school" 5 lug wheels
So was the RS included in the 455 vehicles that were part of the recall?

Good question. Equally good question would be "was this particular RS the reason they issued the recall " ?

According to the information, the recall doesn't affect GT3 RS, only GT3.
