Agree it was an error/forgot to/didn’t catch it in time.

I spotted that straight away but I am no tracky dude so choose not to say anything.

I thought a good few spots were a bit, lets say, not smooth and sublime.

For sound, 991.2 all the way, so far.

That is what its there for

Yep... if you are really going for a lap time... it can advantageous or rather less of deficit to run on the limiter briefly, vs an extra gear change that might take you out of power band.

Best colour by far IMO, this is stunning

[Koln-RS]

That’s very blue

That’s a filter on that making it look a lot deeper blue than it actually is it’s Audi Nogaro Blue.

That is very nice.

Any build updates?? Mine is half way through. Entered body shop last Friday, completes end of this week.

Nice! You will have one of the first.

Mine is entering the body shop on the 21st so I’m a couple of weeks behind you. All the estimates still look to be on time.

Fingers crossed yours makes it out on time, my Turbo S that I’m collecting on Friday was in production for three weeks instead of the quoted one week!

Must check tomorrow - mine is scheduled for completion on the 21st

How long before the first one appears at Romans?

[Relic]

You guys are all doing well!

I have one of three at the Centre I am dealing with and they confirmed Q3 at the earliest for arrival as of yesterday.

They did say it would be a 2022 model which apparently has an upgraded PCM in line with the Taycan.

Do they sent you pictures of your car on the production line like Ferrari do?

[13PDJ]

Not yet, there is a new system available in the states for Porsche US called "Track Your Dream" that does it but its not available here currently.

Mine went into the body shop a few days before it was scheduled, looks promising

[Gitana991]

Goes into production on 21!

I’m really looking forward to getting the car on the road and track, I’m not fussed about a busy front end or stiff suspension, it’s a GT3 I wouldn’t expect anything less.

By all accounts the new suspension has really improved the tyre wear

Mine is scheduled for:- Fixed in production :- 21.05 ; Body Shop :- 11.06 ; Completion 18.06 how do you track it without pestering the centre ?? By what I read cars appear to be on schedule.

I wouldn't worry about tyre wear as it will be negligible.Double wishbone offers better turn in and a more comfortable ride as each front wheel is independent of the other.Am asking myself so why is the word 'busy' getting mentioned when driven on the road, more downforce requires stiffer springs.I guess we wont know until the road reviews come out.I know your view is yes its a GT3, but the GT3 was always built for the road and to take to a track , unlike the RS which was built for the track but can also drive on the road.Its a big difference to people who would buy a GT car.

The way the new 992GT3 drives on either track or road makes no difference whatsoever to the usual flippers as they only want them because...............
