To that end, I will likely spec it as trim as practical so will stick with the LWBs and Clubsport package with roll bar as I am happy with that setup with my Simpson device and helmet. I will also go for Iron brakes. Will then look at swapping out the wheels for a set of 19s.

hi chris, out of interest why get a 718 GT4 RS and not use your 991.2 RS for trackdays?

I intend to track both.

I nearly always take more than one car to the track and often take friends and family with me to share the cars around. Makes for a fun day.

I like to rotate the car that I take to the track because it's very different tracking a GT4 vs a GT3/RS.

That would be the first RS with completely different engine and 50hp+ more than its non-RS counterpart. Why set such precedent with a GT4?

BTW...for a summer 2021 introduction we would be seeing now the final product doing laps and a sneak peak...just like the 992 GT3.
We are still seeing photos of the test mules with camouflage and/or parts not finalized. Funny how you see the GT3 (even a GT3 touring) all the time but not the "GT4RS"....
