GT3 Fluid Change Recommendations
I have 6,000 miles on my 2015, about 700 of which are track miles. Are there any guidelines for changing transmission, differential, and brake fluids on cars that are tracked?

Porsche literature recommends engine oil changes at 6,000 miles for tracked cars, and brake fluid replacement at least annually. I haven't seen any guidance for the geartrain - maybe someone else can chime in.

As far as a recommended maintenance schedule is concerned there are no special requirements for changing brake fluid or gearbox fluids for tracked cars, although brake fluid should be checked after every track session. Engine oil is on an accelerated schedule, from 12K miles to 6K miles. The normal requirements for the GT3 and the additional track requirements are shown below.
EDIT: Even though it's not shown on the scheduled maintenance checklist , if you read the text (on page 3) of the booklet I show a few posts down, you'll see that Porsche does recommend changing brake fluid once a year for cars used on track just as Serge944 mentioned.

Hey Mike, just received my "Driving on the Race Circuit" manual a week ago. It never came with the standard manual package. Took over a month to get it though.

From what I've read, it seems other Canadians got shortchanged on that too. Glad yours showed up.

The "Driving on the Race Circuit" addendum was included with my owners manual and other docs. It should be available from your dealer or PCNA, but in the meantime, here it is in it's entirety....

Thanks - I didn't receive this addendum either, good reference! I'll check with my dealer; when I asked them about warranty coverage for cars taken to the track they did indicate that they would honor the warranty as long as the car was maintained by the dealer. Still surprised that there is no recommendation for more frequent transmission oil change than the standard 96,000 miles.
