Yes, the Porsche Track Precision app is not great currently... primarily due to it's crappy reliability. But I still have hope (especially with now the GT3, GT4 and GT3RS supporting it) that this will improve with software updates.

So I thought it might make sense to build a custom database/download spot for tracks people have created themselves because they weren't part of the built-in map database (e.g. Thunderhill, Buttonwillow, etc). Given that tracks can be exported/imported in the app it might make life easier for some and will allow for better comparison.

Or does anyone know if a collection like that already exists?
If not: If you have a custom track created please attach it to your post in this thread (or send it to me and I'll start a central download repository).

Great idea !

I follow planet-9 forum, so just joined rennlist today to post about this. I tried the app and am frustrated. I have a GT4. When using a custom track (defined in my neighborhood), I can get it to say "REC" but it does not save data. Very frustrating to see so little information on web about this.

I went to Porsche.com > Contact Us and complained today.

Have you ever found a track posted by someone? I have made VIR, but since I have not tested it yet, shouldn't post it.

I did record a test track at a big parking lot. It worked pretty well. Just added a FIA track that is not in their database. Will have an opportunity to test it next month.

Did your custom track show up with a diagram? See screen shot below - mine do not have a diagram. I am wondering if that is an indication I have done something wrong with the track layout.

I used the record track this week at WGI and it worked great ony iPhone.
Make sure you use latest version of app.

Just click start when passing start finish and next time around it will start recording automatically.

Do you see the outline of WGI course on the Track Management page? I definitely have the latest app version.

The diagram will show up after you have completed a logged session of the circuit. If you edit the segments afterward it will also remove the icon outline view of the track until it is run again.

This was essentially the feedback I received from someone who identified themselves as a P employee after reporting this as one of the bugs experienced. If desired I could go back and dig up the exact quote from their e-mail.

I have created WGI and VIR-Full maps along with transferred for another user to import and it worked for him to log a session.

ARYORK, did you ever get a chance to test your VIR track. I have a PCA event their in March, and would like to set things up as best as possible. Would you mind posting or sharing your map? We are doing the full course.

thanks

Great news - there is an updated version that has VIR as a pre-selectable track! I am doing the THSCC HPDE in two weeks and will use it then. I will try to remember to post the results. Have not tried it anywhere yet, but might try the new version on my custom "neighborhood track." I am hopeful it will work as advertised! I was seriously considering a smarty cam and AIM data acquisition unit, but will try the app and see how it works. I will also be at the March PCA DE!

sweeeeeeet. Thanks and I will look for you in March. Ill be in a dark blue GT3 and wife in a white Cayman GTS.

aryork

Wow - your wife in a CGTS?! If my wife showed any interest whatsoever, I'd get her a car in a split second. At the THSCC DE, they will allow non DE participants to ride with instructors, so my plan is to do that with her. I have one of the rooms above the garages for Fri and Sat night and will try to get her up there Friday night. Don't have a room for March yet, but need to get one. I'm in Raleigh

last DE we did at VIR, we stayed at the Lodge, it was heaven. Late to the show this year, so all was full on the track. Event sponsor said most stay at the Holiday inn in Danville. Booked their. My wife rode with an instructor and had a blast. Good fun. Feel free to PM me at 443.822.8503 if you have questions about the VIR event. Did update app and found VIR! Hope it works!!! See you their.
