Does Porsche have any intention of running the car in GT4 racing?

Would that present the opportunity for factory-supplied shorter diffs in future?

Sorry I missed this. I posted some details on the upcoming racer Cayman a while back in another thread.
The race car will be using PDK and will be a bit below GT4 series level in terms of pitch. It is aimed at the club racer in the main, offering a factory supplied entrance/gateway to Porsche racing. Support etc will come from main dealers.
That was last I heard/saw and I haven't heard anything to the contrary. Until it drops as a physical unit though there is always potential for changes in all directions of course.

I believe cars will be delivering before December though. Some are looking like they might pop up in Continental GS class. The current Porsche there was a prepped 997 GTS. BGB also ran a 3.4 Cayman in there that did ok but was outgunned in terms of making podiums. Porsche Club Racing in the US should be opening up a series for the cars too starting next year so expect the bulk to head there since that is the market.

And I'm so glad I went for the yellow

Is that last photo in Tadcaster?! Think I saw you drive by me the other night?

I've been keeping an eye out for a Voodoo Blue Porsche but have yet to see one in the flesh. None at Classics at the Castle a month ago and none at Silverstone. They had a Mexico C4S but the guy I asked at Silverstone said he'd never seen Voodoo. I hope it looks OK since its cost me a couple of grand and a 9 week delay.

Very nice Chris. Or is this GT4s car.

I think I've seen every picture of Voodoo there is on the internet, just not seen one in real life. With everybody seemingly very keen on HDR photo's a the moment its a bit of a leap of faith ordering a colour without seeing it in the metal first, not even on a paint sample plate.

How long does it normally take from build date to delivery to the dealers? Not good at this waiting lark(-:

Just asked my OPC exactly this question. Their answer is it depends on the dates of shipping and transport from/to the docks at both this end and on mainland Europe. This can either speed up or slow down the journey by up to 10-14 days depending on how well the different elements in the journey happen to co-ordinate.

I took this very poor photo on Saturday at Goodwood.

I went and visited this car last week before its new owner took delivery and out of my 10 pics the posted 2 are very accurate the website pics of the actual car and my other 8 pics were way off the real deal as is this example sent to me by a dealer in Canada when I first ordered Voodoo

Anyone had any experience with Suntek PPF, I normally use Paintshield but they are 2.5 hours from me and found someone localled who installs Suntek.

I wasn't going to have anything fitted but i've only done 250 mils and already 2 stone chips so a change of mind.

Check over on the McLaren forum. A new 650S owner got his done with Suntek last week.

Then, you will be interested in proper photos of Saturday's Goodwood meet.

Yes it's Tadcaster, but I'm afraid I can't help you solve the "GT4" mystery ....

P.S. Yes that colour looks like Sapphire Blue --- I would have chosen this if I'd gone for the steel brakes.

Incidentally, have you seen how many of the 991GT3RS purchasers have gone for PCCB's ?

These are identical to those on the GT4 with 100kilos and 100 bhp less, so they should last !
