The GT3 R has always been placed between the GT3 Cup and the very expensive RSR. All the 991.2 racing cars have normally aspirated 4-litre engines. Compared to the 991.1 GT3 R, the 991.2 GT3 R engine offers a broader usable rev range and the engine response is more precise due to 6 throttle butterflies. The roof, front hood and fairing, wheel arches, doors, side and tail sections, rear lid and interior trim are made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). The 991.2 GT3 R has a new double wishbone suspension.

The race saw a 1-2 victory for Porsche 991.2 GT3 R. The #20 car driven by Michael Christensen, Kévin Estre and Richard Lietz finished first and the #998 car driven by Frederic Makowiecki, Patrick Pilet and Nick Tandy. All these were Porsche factory drivers driving for private teams this time. The race was held in wild weather conditions which suit the rear engined Porsches well as in slippery conditions the rear engined cars have very good traction. In the night the race was even halted for almost 6 hours due to heavy rain making it a 18 hour race. This was the 71st running of Spa 24h and Porsche's 7th victory after 9 year gap.
