I am, but it's literally a mm too tall for the rear. Fronts are fine. Without the jackpoint pads, it fits no problem. So, if you're using JP stands, maybe find something just a tiny bit shorter.

Maybe shave 0.5mm of the radius of each of the wheels of the floor jack, or perhaps drive the car onto a very thin piece of plywood?

Thanks for the quick response nonetheless.

Probably easier to just trim the pin for the JP pad

Got it, that option was out of view since I don't have the JP products in hand yet.

For solid cellphone mounts that resist track G-forces consider Proclips. I've used them in all my trackmonkeys and street cars.

Which one in particular? The ones I see on the website look like they'd fly out on the track. Additionally, are you saying these are better than RAM mounts? Those things are rock solid. Perhaps this is more a middle ground between the Kenu and the RAM?

RAM mount is the way to go.

I attach a ram mount to my windshield for autocross video, but I want something more discreet than a windshield mount for my everyday cell phone. I think the Proclip or the T-Design are better mounts for a cell phone. And, when I'm racing autocross, the cell phone stays in the glove box unless I'm using it for video.

I use a ProClip for daily cell phone charging / Nav use, and a RAM mount for video / Porsche Track Precision app use on track.

Race Ramps
Curious if anyone has tried race ramps for the GT3.
Backing up them probably is more of a PIA I suspect?

We have a set of 11 foot Race Ramps and love them. We use them all day in the shop for our above-ground drive-on lift, and then pull them out and use them to load our enclosed trailer when we go to the track. Our race car, a very low E92 M3 with a huge front splitter and rear diffuser, makes it up and down them easily, and driving the GT3 up them is like going up normal ramps in an SUV.

I'd probably recommend having a helper to guide you up them if reversing since they're kind of narrow compared to some other ramps, but otherwise it's no problem at all.

They're also shockingly light, by the way. I can easily carry a whole ramp at a time (split into its two parts and stacked) when going out to the trailer.

I use RR-FS, these are flatstoppers. I place car on these in cold midwest offseason.
