Regardless, you can't start your break in until you get your car in your hands, so I'm not sure what the point is of knowing this information especially when the 991.1 GT3 break in is well known and ultra conservative.

I'm Nov 6th ED, and same scheduled, SPA & the RING! Curious to know the answer... but I thought it was more like first 500miles... then we're ok to beat on it.
My personal opinion is it's still good to rev them to redline, but not 'shock the drivetrain' be sure to shift easier, etc... but still excercise (at times) all the RPM.
Curious to hear other's opinions as well.
Best Regards,
Dave

With my mezger machines i went directly from factory to the nurburgring. with the 2nd car it pretty much stayed there for 3 years. all the delivery guy said was just get it nice and warmed up first. never had a problem. i will do the same with this one come spring.

Glad to hear the same break in procedure I'm used to. Frankly, starting at Leipzig, then the next day Zuffenheisen, and then 2 more days of sight seeing... it should easly have 700 to 1000 miles on it by the time I get to SPA on Friday and the Ring on Saturday.
Best Regards,
Dave
PS.. thank you Mchrono!

I know... I'm worried about the 'weather'... but was the soonest week for ED based on my allocation. So I'll have them put the winter tires on, and if weather isn't good for the 'Ring' or SPA, I figured I'll rent something at the track.

Any future warranty issues?

No warranty issues unless over a range 3 over-rev.

Range 1-6 range over revs are traditionally for older generation metzger engines (or manual gearbox cars) and typically there was not a lot of cause for concern with <range 3 over revs; anything >range 4-6 would require some due diligence in terms of how long the car had been rev'd at those amounts and if it would require disassembly for replacing parts.
