In Episode 2 of Llandow Laps, Chris Harris puts two of the latest supercars through their paces: the sensational 992-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and the new McLaren 750S. Powered by a naturally aspirated flat-six producing 525hp, the GT3 RS might win purists’ hearts, but will it be enough to see off the monstrous 750hp twin-turbocharged V8 in the McLaren?
Arguably, the GT3 RS appears to be the more track-focused machine, thanks in no small part to its substantial rear wing; but with 40% less power and a higher kerb weight than the McLaren, it’ll really have to make the most of that advanced aero to find grip on the slippery 0.9-mile Llandow circuit.
After a brief and ‘confidence inspiring’ chat with Chief Marshall John, the only thing left to do is set the fastest possible lap time in these two phenomenally powerful machines, all while trying to avoid, in Chris’ words, “a full code brown”. So, what are you waiting for? Watch Llandow Laps Episode 2 below to see which of these stunning supercars comes out on top.

Llandow Laps is our exciting new series, hosted by Chris Harris at the 'legendary' Llandow Circuit in South Wales.
The concept behind Llandow Laps is to pitch two vehicles from the same genre against one another to see which is faster; and the first series will feature grand tourers (with a twist), hot hatches, supercars, roadsters, and restomods.
As well as showcasing the cars’ performance on track, the films will also reveal the behind-the-scenes work required to produce the end result, introducing some of the personalities from the Llandow Circuit and the Collecting Cars team.
The science bit: All cars featured in Llandow Laps will be unmodified from the specification seen on screen, they’ll be running with a full tank of fuel, and they’ll be fitted with sensible tyres available on the road cars from the factory.
Lap times will be recorded, and a winner of each head-to-head will be revealed - although there’ll be more focus on the driving experience and character of the cars than on the numbers alone.
