How many 15-16 gt3's have engine replaced?

Really interesting that Porsche would back away from its track warranty for GT cars, just as much of the competition has been broadening their warranties to include track use (GT350, Camaro Z28, Corvette, Viper, etc.).
Maybe it will return with low-revving turbocharged GT cars???

I am just hoping to learn more about the new top end changes, and get some sense that those parts address the problem. Then hope my engine needs a new top end before my warranty expires.

I don't want to take the conspiracy theory down the rabbit hole, but I just checked my owner's manual case, and the little booklet about 'Driving On The Race Circuit' isn't in there any more. I would have had zero reason to not keep it with the other car manuals...
Checking to see if I can order a replacement.

A few comments. The USA warranty language is unchanged from at least 2012. The note about "driving events" and "may not be covered" are in the warranty book for my 12 Cayman. The GT cars do not get a special warranty book. If you look at the book it is titled Warranty and Customer Information Model year xxxx and it is for all models. you can see a footnote that GT cars have a shorter corrosion warranty so it is clear the booklet is for all. So nothing really new. My opinion is PAG/ PCNA want this to be vague- it may or may not be covered. I've had warranty coverage on a tracked car although relatively minor (water pump, PDLS ) and other USA cars have had GT3 top end work. I know cars that went from the track to the dealer on a flat bed with numbers on the doors.
My 9/14 build MY 2015 GT3 was not delivered with the Race Circuit booklet. I requested and received one from PCNA. It is copyright 2014 with a 10/14 notation and does not have the warranty reference.
Of course sorry to hear about the denial of coverage in Europe. Not sure what impact this may have for US market cars.
Going to COTA Sunday and will try not to think about all this!

It was included with mine, as well. I have referenced it a couple of times just to make sure I wasn't forgetting about anything. Always put it back in the car with the rest of the car's documentation. The 'implication' was that it has disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
Zedcat, our cars were very close in build date, and I took delivery from North in November of 14. I had the booklet. I called up and ordered a replacement. Apparently only 6 left in NA!
Have a good time this weekend!

Plus almost every GT3 promotional video and photo showed the car driven on a race track.
