I translated the table floating around this thread from the below remarks. I wanted to make it easier for me to remember where I was in the break-in period, and also figured I would share it with everyone as there is so much said about how to do this properly. This is what I could find in a few minutes of searching. The link in the attachment below is dead, but I remember seeing the original thread somewhere a while back. He said that is how they do it at Weissach, so I think you are ok if you follow his lead. I have attached the table to a note card with packing tape as a laminate. It fits nicely in the center console for future reference.

850... pushing 7,000 now regularly... its pretty amazing. Wondering what 8,000 will be like... Doesnt seem like an engine should rev that high, I 'hope' Porsche knows what they are doing!
So stage 1, hitting the rev limiter, will still trigger a log and visible to Porsche / Dealership? In case engine failure occurs for example.
But below the rev limit, I wouldn’t think the ECU would log rpm/second or whatever the sample rate is, just due to the shear amount of memory it requires perpetually.

Not a chance, they have limited experience in this field...

Would it also note gear? I assume so as I can see lots of Stage 1 in gear 1, but can't see how that would have any impact on warranty claims. Hitting Stage 1 in 6th though, that would be heroic (on a track of course). What would be interesting is with Auto Blip, if you accidently tried to shift into 1st from 2nd instead of 3rd would the car rev match well over 8k even if you don't engage 1st, the rev match seems to trigger when you are at the gate so you could in theory trigger this although not sure of it simply won't try and rev match at that point.
Interesting point; take one for the team, would yah?
