No Slicks on 991 GT3!!
Technical training in the 991 GT3 emphasized NO SLICKS!
I don't know why exactly, Center Lock wheel/Hub weakness or something else but it is certainly disappointing!

Porsche up to their old tricks... "It's light years ahead of the old car but can't handle slicks" wtf??? 997.2 regular Carreras weren't even disallowed from running slicks to my knowledge...
ps. looking forward to the excuses that will be put forward to justify Porsche's position now... maybe its those Carrera Cup car bearings and the all new and improved CL design or the all new dry sump, motorsport engine? or is it the RWS that can't take the heat...

should be similar issue to R8 and any other cars with heavily involved CPUs into management of suspension, sticker tires and stiff springs require different software.

slicks means more G's. So my bet is on sump/lubrication on this higher reving, untested, no mezger engine. There I said it.
BTW Corvette just came out that said: "Slicks? Sure. And we'll back it up w/ a warranty."

I understand that, but how does it rate when taking Bob's technical training info into account?
Yes, this is what I would like to be clarified.
