UT911GTS

Hope I explain this properly!

In the old manual car, if you spin the car with no chance of saving it, you bottom out the pedals and hold on. No flaming I'm speaking generally.

With this new PDK GT3... what happens now with the PSM on and off! I'm thinking you won't get into this position with the PSM on (unless you do something really stupid) but what about with it off? Can you lock up the wheels? If not, what happens if you end up going backwards for a bit? Does it tear anything up?

I was asked this question by an old racer at the track out of pure curiosity. Didn't have an answer. He was totally amazed by the performance of the car in a less then skilled drivers hands. Thanks.

There are multiple motion and wheel sensors associated with PDK and they will disengage the clutches in the event of a spin. Instead of "in a spin both feet in" it's just one foot in, on the brake. If you end up going backwards no damage will result, something I can attest to from first hand experience.

In Atlanta at Porsche the instructors said lock up brakes if going into spin on kick plate to avoid harming PDK.

Brake. Hard. Then harder.

The car knows its spanning and puts the clutch in as if you're holding both paddles in?

Porsche has special leather treatment for the seats. Anti butt pucker crease treatment. Seats will not get creased if you spin, even if your azz clinches.
Does this answer your question?

Correct. I've spun it twice on torrential track days and it does not stall, settles into 1st gear again and you are off...to wash up the mess!

The car will not stall in a spin, and if ESC + TC was off the car will re-engage the system. Just hit the brakes

Mark said it. Yes, the clutches disengage in a spin; just go in on the brakes.
