I love the Leipzig track but the Ring is just that much better. Planned to head there to see some old friends at Meuspath that I haven't seen in 2 years coming up 3, then head to Austria for a wedding then to Milan for some shopping before heading home. But nothing like the epic trip I did with my 911R that went from Leipzig to Munich to Modena and back up to Stuttgart, visiting all the factories along the way, Porsche, Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Ducati, Mercedes and Porsche again.
What a bummer. Have they told you you could wait for PCCBs if you want a later delivery or do you just have to take what you can get when you can get it?
I was told I could wait but with no delivery date scheduled anytime soon. They dont know when PCCBs will be back. So i thought I should take my slot anyways.Not a deal breaker for me. But now will most likely be adding an AP racing brake KIT when i get my car.

Probably the smartest decision.....take it now. You can go AP, PFC or Surface Transform later.....unless you need the Yellow calipers
@Bill Lehman and @jmartpr are spot-on. I drove mine over 1,000 track miles at Road America, 10,000 road miles, before the rotors cracked enough to warrant replacement. Still had 60% of my pads left.
There's nothing wrong with the OEM brake system. Run it until the rotors are shot and then consider an aftermarket system.
And the new Iron setup is huge (408mm in front) with dimpled rather than drilled rotors - they work great and should be very resilient. Only issue is stock pads are lousy (on all new Porsche brakes including PCCB, due to loss of Copper for environmental regs).

I had seriously thought about ED in Zuffenhausen as well. That would be a fun trip especially with some shopping in Milan. Looks like the 10% luxury tax is coming our way on sept 1st so hopefully get car here before that as I’d rather spend the 10% on a trip than to contribute to the gov coffers.
For which trip? The long one? That one was sort of planned. I pre-booked the factory visit to Ferrari Lamborghini and Pagani. So the initial plan was always driving south from Leipzig. I knew Munich is on our way south, so visiting the BMW factory is just natural. While on the way we looked at the map and Ingolstadt is just outside Munich so visiting Audi is a no brainer.
Ducati factory is just outside Modena, so we just hoped over after we did the Lamborghini visit. I ran into Shmee at Pagani and my 911R made it to one of his videos.
I decided to drop the car off at Zuffenhausen as I didn't feel like driving all the way back to Leipzig just so they can swap out the winter wheels they loan me. They can figure out how to get the car back to Leipzig before shipping it back to me. From Stuttgart I got back to London then flew to Kittila for Porsche's Ice Experience.
Did that trip with a buddy, we managed to fit 2 1/2 week of luggage into the back of the 911R, with 2 buckets.
For the up coming trip, I will be doing it with my gf. Right now the plan is to head to the Ring from Zuffenhausen first. Then east to Graz Austria via Munich. From there south to Milan. Probably stop by Venice first on the way to Milan. Haven't decided what happens after Milan. Maybe I will take the car back to Stuttgart for drop off, or I might do that in Milan instead. Tempted to take her to Monaco or Geneva however.

If I was driving from Graz to Milan, I would stop and stay in Alpe di Siusi in the Dolomites. Unless you have already been there, or just prefer cities, it is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. My wife and I absolutely love it there. I can send you a suggestion for an amazing 5-Star hotel in a prime location if you are interested.
My dealer GM sent me these...looks good in RY sans WP.
I agree... Although not a huge fan of yellow cars in general, it seems to suit the 4RS particularly well with the black accents on the car. I would definitely skip the color matched wheel stripes though, I've never been a fan of that look.
