Default Euro del. Only 3 month by Porsche. Mercedes BMW and Audi still 5-12 months?!

I filled in the forms my dealer sent me yesterday.
when he submitted the forms they said they have new ones now.
Jamie from ED confirmed with my dealer over the phone that the program only allows 3 months now.

And my build date is 11/16 at the moment.
I will try to delay till Dec/ January but even March is really too early to do the Ring, etc.

Ill do southern tracks like Ascari but what a bummer!!

Logistics will be a nightmare. You need winter tires (because of weather and legal requirements) and then trackday with winter tires won’t work well...

When I did mine in 2016, I seem to remember you could purchase additional insurance on your own. That allowed you to keep the car in Europe for longer than Porsche allowed. In fact, I had my car there about 90+ days. I think i had a 120 day insurance policy. Is it your understanding that it's now 90 days max, regardless of insurance coverage?

My Sales person spoke to Jamie, I have not gone direct yet to verify.
But the form was hanged to 90 days only and Jamie had said the only way to keep the car longer is to register and insure it in Germany.
Which, of course is Bullshet.

Best of luck.

Mine was similar to yours...an 02 Nov build with a 21/22 Nov pickup. Since getting a PTS allocation, the build will be January 2019. We're hoping to push out to take advantage of better weather at the end of March.

PTS??

I asked for PTS the last 2/3 weeks but I’m not getting a reply about that possibility or how long I can wait to actually get the car.

I got a PTS allocation last week. My original build was an Agate, but PAG had 8 PTS slots open up during a 2 day window, and I snagged one of them.

Where are you doing your ED?

I’d love to do as many tracks as I can but it depends on hiw
much I can delay the pickup.

In Feb and March I will be confined to Southern Spain, Portugal and Italian tracks I supposed.
Ascari, Mugella...

Any advice on Monza? There appears to be a few clubs in the area, but I'm not familiar with how to schedule European track days.

Check openpitlane.de, while Germany focussed they also have quite a few more on including Italian ones. Gedlich Racing also does a lot of trackdays in Portugal and Spain during the winter, they are top notch.

3RS PTS? None were granted in the first place from what I heard and nothing till March if then. Well done if you got it for a 3RS.

Anyone know what V210 means?

Its says:

Car locked 11/21/18
Euro delivery place Zuffenhausen
Delivery to dealer January 11, 2019.

I don't really want to pick it up until March now that ED is limited to 3 months.
