To balance the argument - how about 250 vs tyre blowing at 150 mph ....
There has been many posts on this in the past and I for one have had 2 tyres repaired in the past and no problems! Someone also posted that they had repaired tyres and had raced the cars with no problems!

Jens?
Ehresmann Automotive, the chaps doing the remap mentioned. 911R clearly feels chummy enough to be on first name basis with the owner and doubtless expected everyone else to get who he meant....

Also have a small amount of water build up at the bottom of the front (lower) light clusters; the daylight running lenses; both sides. Is this common?

I did see this (briefly) and spoke to OPC who said that if they were leaking they could be changed out under warranty. However it soon vanished and I never saw a re-occurrence.

Worth monitoring though and if persistent then push to get sorted under your warranty.

I had some misting at the bottom of both front lenses on the way back form Le Mans but the weather was rather biblical!

Getting them run in will as soon as I can. Pictures does not do the Orange justice, will get SLR picture and get the contrast and saturation correct.

To early to comment but very different. Been lucky enough to have each version of the GT3 and loved them, 991 was my least favourite just did not bond with it all, mainly as I wanted a manual for the road.

Don't believe anyone who says the GT4 does not feel like proper GT car it does to me, toned down but still a GT
