Default 991RS ED Sept 2...oil change advice?

Am picking the car up in Zuffenhausen Sep 2.

Trip is:
Sept 3-6 Zell am See for the Porsche international Tage, and will rally it there.
Sept 7-10 Innsbruck-Dresden-Rothenburg
Sept11-14 Hamburg for an event
Sept 15-17 Nurburgring
Sept 18 Sachsenring
Sept 19-21 Berlin
Sept 22 Back to Zuffenhausen


I would guess total Kms will be in the 5,000 range based on my previous EDs.

Question is: when to change the oil?..Thinking maybe Hamburg just prior to tracking events. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd do the oil change after the track.

Just run it!
Porsche engineers have taken break in into account.
The first 1000km most important to break in cam shafts

I'm a weird one. If you've done a bit of driving beforehand, especially pre-breakin, I'd change the oil before tracking, and then again after tracking.

Changing oil is the cheapest thing you can do to protect the most expensive part of your car.
