I wonder about the handling/grip balance for the 992 GT3 Touring. I notice the lack of rear downforce on my 991.2 GT3T in high speed braking and high speed turns on track where the rear end is definitely livelier than a winged GT3 and needs to be managed well. Of course, I also get some slight turn in understeer, which would be nice to dial out but honestly, it's also not hard to manage with light trail braking or a bit of throttle lift to get the car to rotate.
With the 992 GT3 having significantly more front end grip but less relative improvement on the rear end, it may be a bit more of a handful on track in high speed situations (Touring only again, I'm sure the winged car is very balanced).
Would like to hear from 992 GT3T if they have track experience...

Compared to my 991.2 GT3, the 992 has far less understeer and has excellent understeer/oversteer balance, even with sway bars left in their center positions (my 991.2 had understeer even with the bars set to minimize that). Tires last longer on rear axle too (I think the rear axle steering software must have been changed or something, but I no longer kill the outer rear treads prematurely).
