Default first track event with 997.1 C4S

I have tracked several 911's (GT3's and C2S's) over the years but never this 997.1 C4S.

not gonna push it too much... my regular track car is an M4GTS, but wont be ready for this next event
Never done anything to the GT cars for track... anything specific to ready the C4S? or any thoughts on corner entry and exit with the AWD versus RWD?


thanks in advance guys

I track my C4s and my other track car is a M3CS

My 997 has a fairly new suspension refresh, so no real issues w it. I found it really fun to track compared to the M3CS. What you’ll miss is the speed of the bmw vs Porsche. You have to go in slower to corners on the 997 especially the 4s but you can get on power much much faster from apex.

since I don’t do many track days my hardest thing to do now is choosing which one to take.

Given it's a .1, watch your oil pressure in right hand sweepers. The inherent design flaws with the oil pump system are exacerbated on right hand sweepers. Short shifting will be your friend.

Make sure your brake fluid is fresh and not a bad idea to replace it with Motul RBF600.
