Default GT3 Alignment question

I'm going to take it to the track for the first time next month. I will probably only hit the track a couple times a year. If I got a track alignment I'd want it to still be street friendly. My question is- how noticeable is a track alignment vs. OEM for a few DE's?

depends on your level of driving
beginner/intermediate --- barely noticeable
advanced/open passing --- quite noticeable

both in terms of handling and tire wear

Good point, I should add more info. I'd say I'm intermediate and i am doing open passing. I'm trying out the NASA Time Trial events. I know I could tell a pretty big difference on my RS when I got a track alignment.

Alignment is very tricky question with 991GT3. I've done a lots of testing and experimenting with the alignment at several different tracks and results were very controversial. At some tracks aggressive track alignment gave up to 4 seconds advantage over stock and at some tracks the car with stock alignment was just as fast as with track alignment. Faster and more technical tracks need more negative camber. Tracks with slow corners, long straights and heavy braking zones need less camber.
My suggestion is to leave it stock until you know exactly what you want from your car.
