Default 991 GT3 factory alignment settings vs. suggested track settings

Does anyone have handy the factory wheel alignment settings for the 991GT3? (I am away from home these next couple days and don't have the manual handy...not sure it is in the manual anyway... I searched on line could not find a reference to the factory alignment figures.)

From reading posts on track alignment settings for this car, it sounds like the well worn -2 degrees camber front and rear, zero toe, are reasonable 'mild' track settings for HPDE track days...nothing too serious...does this sound right?

My GT3 is approaching the break in miles threshold and I am getting it into gear for its first track days later this month... am thinking if the factory settings are not too far off, I might just run it on the standard setting once or twice...

Thoughts/reactions/corrections welcome.

I believe the factory alignment settings are called out in the owners manual.

Factory settings (listed in degrees and minutes - 1°30' = 1.5°):

Front axle
Toe +2' +/- 2'
Camber -1°30' +/- 3'

Rear axle
Toe +10' +/- 2'
Camber -1°30' +/- 3'

Thanks Ray... I got a hold of a 991 GT3 owners manual... thank you.

Interesting that in the manual, Porsche firmly says the GT3 should be run the standard alignment road AND TRACK...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

That's probably not a bad suggestion for most people who aren't going to drive quite as hard on the track. Those who know what they're doing are going to need something that fits their individual style.
