so I'm at lime rock today first track event w this 16 gt3

is it Normal ? The steering feels very heavy to the point of forearms start to ache after a 20 min sessions

is this a result of being in sport plus mode ?

and yes I go to the gym regularly , just seems very different than my other pcars

welcome any feedback

you might have an issue with the tire pressures or the steering rack, but in general i find the steering to be a bit on the heavy side which I prefer.

Tires running hot at 32 -33 my other car I run is boxtster spyder which feels so much lighter

Guess I need to do more curls

Do you have the LWB seats? Sometimes with normal seats, your arms can tire from bracing yourself in the corners...

Ddesimone17

Go figure the spyder has LWB and the gt3 has the sofas

GrantG

Take the passenger seat from the Spyder and put it in the GT3 for the driver (and vice versa)

That might put the airbags (and height switch) on the wrong side though - might have to put both LWB's from the Spyder into the GT3, if that's your main track car...

Does not sound normal to me, I found both the GT3 and now RS to be fairly light weight in terms of effort. There is no mode to change steering weight.

Ddesimone17

Is that possible ? Or r u joking , It would be a good idea then the wife can use the sofas in both cars only thing the electric button for the lwb would be in the inside


Although Gt3 is only temporary till spring when hopefully .2 will show up w Mt n lwb

GrantG

I was serious at first, but then I realized the airbags would be on the wrong side (and the electric height adjust). I guess you should just wait for .2 (first world problem )

Btw after driving all day 100% my arms are tired bc of the seats

GrantG

Yeah, it really helps to use LWB's or real racing seats. And harnesses help a bunch too (especially under braking).

Not a real solution, but this could be helpful in the meantime:

Lighten your grip.

Brace yourself with your left foot, worked pretty good for me
Tougher now on the GT4...

PDK has at least this on its side!

This. The steering should be fine for any normal person.
