Question PDK Sport 4th Gear Rev limiter

Hi,
Last week at Spring Mountain in PDK Sport, while in 4th gear, the car hit the rev-limiter before shifting into 5th.
Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix, software update?

I was running with another Gen 2 GT3 PDK and they had the same issue. Weird.....

Thanks!

I have the issue I believe you are describing occasionally here at Motorsport Ranch outside of Fort Worth where I think a little bump at the same transition point on the track right before upshift, I'll hit a bit of rev limiter as the car sorts out what to do with possibly a momentary loss of traction before it finally upshifts. It only happens at that point on the track occasionally, otherwise it shifts perfect at all other points on the track.

Experienced the same issue in the .2 RS accelerating through turn 6 at Sebring. It seems to delay the shift for a split second and only happpens there. Never happened with the .1 GT3.

I was there. Eric is a supremely fast driver. Manual or PDK he can drive. I thought he was driving in manual mode though.

I also noticed the the car hit rev limiter a couple times. I noticed it only when the car would momentarily break traction though. I thought it was normal, and due to me being a wimp and leaving it in PDK sport auto LOL.

Thanks Johnny!

I wanted to go fast so I got the PDK. :-)
I ran in Auto mode to get used to the track. It had been 8 years since my last visit to Spring Mountain.
Once I got the track configuration down, I changed to Manual mode.

Super fun!
