The competition steering wheel is a different shape than the track day. The track day has 6 buttons, and the comp has 8 which includes 2 option buttons, The comp has a quick release which the track day lacks.

For those with incoming cars, if you can get the VIN number you may be able to get access to PMRSI. You need to enter the vin and request an account. Within PMRSI you can download the tech manual which has a ton of info. If you haven't already done this. Racecar Service Information (porsche.com)

The competition car has expensive carbon fiber front fenders, splitter, bonnet and bumpers. Makes for expensive "offs".... It also has dual master brake system same as cup car. You really have to hit the pedal hard like typical race car. It takes a while to get used to it if coming from a street car.
The quick release wheel is cool in comp car. I must note that i rarely remove it and im 6ft 210 pounds. with seat all the way back you can get out fairly easy.
If anything, thr quick release wheel sticks out too far when driving. (the hub makes it almost too long).

Great to see see so many new 781 clubsport owners!
The Competition variant (at least the one which I have) is not like the carbon MR at all. Glass windows, 3 way shocks, metal fenders, hood and rear deck. Stock-ish bumper covers. 88 lb heavier then the MR, I was told.

And there is a TON of update info there as well. I have updated my car that I got in October 2019. I don't know what state of updates the new cars will be in. I would ask that question of PMNA. What was the last technical bulletin that does NOT apply to your new car.

See post #6. I don't know if they are still building Clubsports though.

From what I'm told they are sold out. Basically only way to get them anymore is finding used in the US or sourcing through Karl Leonard in EMEA to get imported.
