In the earlier GT3 literature and even now on the Porsche USA website, the specifications for the GT3 indicated there was going to be a button labeled RACETRACK, which is appropriately badass name for a GT3 button. Compared to a 911, the GT3 of course has no normal mode as it is automatically set in Sport mode, and the base GT3 mode is ready for aggressive back-road driving and the RACETRACK button is supposedly reserved for the racetrack.

Unfortunately, it appears that on the GT3 (in the US at least) the button is now labeled PDK SPORT instead of RACETRACK, which is far less interesting in my book.

Can any of the international members of Rennlist comment on whether their (english language) GT3 will be coming with a button labeled RACETRACK button or labeled PDK SPORT?

If so, I need to get that built on my US car. RACETRACK button is highly appropriate for a car like the GT3.

AFAIK, they have changed the name on the Racetrack button to PDK-Sport on all cars worldwide, because it really just changes tranny settings.

Sure, I recognize the function of the button would be the same. I'm just disappointed if they changed the name worldwide.

Thought maybe the just the US market got the PDK sport label due to legal issues similar to why we can't order the clubsports package. Speaking of which, I'm gonna keep my seats, (bad spine), but I need to figure out how to order the GT3 rollbar from europe.

Nothing cooler than wrapping some red electrical tape on that button and labeling it the "do not touch" button

Regarding the rollbar, if you don’t mind aftermarket, RSS & BBI both have similar products available soon which should be a lot less expensive.

Just stick one of these on it:

That really is the fun isn't it.. Doing those little silly mods which make the car your own.
