Great EVERYTHING; Car; tracks; Mrs Trackcar; Mr Purple and offcourse the 'rock star' Mr Trackcar...and am glad for once EU has shown good weather even this late in the year - must be Global warming (don't go there William....)

@Porsche AG, there is your marketing team replaced right there - real people; real world scenario; real world use...

Ohh. hope Nth America adopts the turn signal with intent rule to pass...works well most days.

One did on Wednesday.
Wife and I sat behind it in the pit lane when it started to smoke.

Told wife to drive away when the fire extinguisher came out.

FWIW: We didn't see any fire, just smoke.

The silver rims are great with this color, much better than the black ones

Haha, i havent even had time to watch myself but there are way to many things behind the wheel. After clicking a tire or fuel or oil warning away I get wipers. After I dick with AC I get high beams LOL.
I have forgotten a few times to shift at all, I'm not really at home in the PDK S department..

No idea, I couldn't tell a difference except I got sweaty.

So, today at about 2000 miles the second oils change.
Tires are good, even with -2.5 rear camber it's the outside tire that is getting killed.
Now to the Redbull Ring so we swapped wheels side to side.
I'd replace them just because I have enough, but I want to see how they wear.
After the Red Bull Ring we go to Paul Ricard an there is Micheline support. Same guys that were at Spa and they were spot on with pressures 31/32 all around works good.

Left rear, what do you guys think?
Just the outer edge getting thinner.

Pads looked thinner but they are still 50% and a little taper.
Really very good Pagid R15 for oem, I'd have no problem tracking these in cool weather at least.

New pads going in, an endurance compound from Racing Technologies? recommended by KA in Florida. Came in blank boxes so not sure.

Oem going back in for shipping home.

Try -3 rear but you may push a little more in slower turns, so soften the front bar. Mine is -3 and I still wear the outside.

Front rotors all holes full with brake dust but rotors like new.

Also interesting maybe. When checking oil level they have to let it run warm because the PIWIS needs updating as it's different between GT3 and RS. The tech told me if they do a GT3 or had the RS update they can see the level immediately.
