Default Who has the most track days on a 16 prod. GT4. without trans failure

Mine is a 6/16 just Im just going to start tracking. I wondering if there are cars in the failure production range that have lots of track time with no 3rd gear issues.

My car had 12 track days and 5200 miles on it before trans failure. It has 2 track days on the new trans with no issue.

It will be interesting to see how many cars in the production range of 1/16-7/16 have had extensive track use with no problems . I think in the data base the most track days before a failure was 28?. Anybody have more with no problem? carl

13,000 miles with plenty of proper usage, one track day, no failure.

Thread was a good prompt to go look at the database. So we've got 54 cars listed with failures. Four had double failures. If we look at 2016-build cars for North America only per gmaki's GT4 database, that's something like 3.8% of cars affected. Of course, some of the 54 may be RoW cars, and we also do not know about all failures in cars that aren't owned by Rennlisters—some are listed among the 54—but I suspect a fair number of GT4s that are tracked are represented here.
