Yup, dealers doing oil change - not much difference in cost to indy, and I get dropped off to work instead of having to take public transport. And they have proper coffee. Can't be bothered doing it myself, I also need them to take a look my weepy transmission including the mount, tighten bolts etc.

Checked with the organiser, he's fine with Cab even after I mentioned that I can always put the hard-top on if required.

Will update once I manage to get on the track. Looking at the schedule it will either be in October or November as I have to service the car next month. Are you going to the club's last track day of the year?

I would add remove the center caps from your wheels. I lost three of mine.

And they didn't fall off under regular street driving? Honestly, I haven't seen this before on any Porsche on any track day.

No just after the track. They were always a bit loose. Interestingly on a recent DE information sheet one of the pieces of advice in addition to "remove anything not bolted down" was "remove center caps".
