The last one wasn't massively raucous though was it? A shame if this one is even more subdued.

You can’t use a GT4 at Brands and at other noise sensitive tracks you have to be very cautious. I get close to the limit (not black flagged) every time at Goodwood. They are louder than 991.1 GT3 at the top end.

You need to come to a track day.
Even a 981 GTS is pushing it at full chat, GT4 is +10% at least.

It’s official. I’m at Goodwood. Gt4 really doesn’t sound like before. Just speaking to Andreas P who was driving it up the hill. Certainly not raucous like before.

This actually may help the ones who like to track regularly.

GT4s get on without issue at Oulton, which uses the same 105db static limit as Brands Indy (and most MSV circuits bar Donington), so there shouldn't be any issue with using one at Brands

GT4 981 is black flagged at Donny...

[ghiblicup]

I got black flagged and the noise sticker pulled off my windshield with no second chance in my 981 GTS at Brands! They are gits.

PCGB won’t let you book a GT4 there.

GT4 does not get black flagged at Donnington ...

Yes they are close to the limit, but Donnington run with them. There are louder cars to worry about ... apparently.

Mine has. More than once.

Maybe you need to have another look at the limits on the days you run on, although I will admit I’ve only been there on specified unsilenced days.

I went to the PCGB day there last year. Was a bit frustrating... I was conscious of the limits all day and only ran at about 65/70%. Others got black flagged and sent home early.
I got to 1600 and said ‘b@lls to it’ 2 consecutive quick laps saw me receive my 2 warnings and then the black flag... so came in and packed up.

At least I can say I’ve driven an historical track, but I’m reluctant to go back unless it’s a high noise limit day, which are few and far between at Brands I think.

I've been there 3 times in mine and it's not been a problem. Even with exhaust on loud.

loads of GT4's at Donny all the time, trick is to stay away from the pit wall. the issue is that's the over taking area.

Don't think I will bother than with my 981 S with PSE and race header, even if I turn off the PSE bet it will fail.

PSE is not off when off , the valves still open on track and at WOT.

PSE off is for motoways and going home at night. any faster driving it opens on it's own.

Looks like a few sitting under the 70k mark now and the approved Porsches ones slowing dropping/reducing in price as well. Not a lot past 80k.

Nope. 17 on the OPC used car locator today. Still one at £70K exactly. Most are high 70's and five are at £80K or more. Of course there will be the odd few cheaper as private or independent dealer sales, so you could buy one of those instead.

[PS2018]

10 on the approved used locator today, starting from £70k

[Fokker]

Maybe people are realising that the 981 is the better buy!
