GT3RS 997.1 track day set up

[petfroguk]

It might be the end of the season and my Cups were well worn anyway, but a day at Silverstone on the 4th finished them off. Four questions:

1. What is the optimum tyre pressure for Cups for a track day?
2. What is the optimum camber/toe set up?
3. GT3 & RS owners recommendations for track day set up? If 3rd party rather than OPC may this invalidate warranty?

Cheers

your car comes with adjustable suspension and ARBs. I can't see how adjusting the adjustable bits could possibly invalidate your warranty. an OPC is the last place i'd go to undertake track prep.

HI,

I run my Cups about at about 2,0-2,1 hot. Depending on driving style/skill cold pressures are at about 1,4-1,9 bar.

People tend to run quite a lot of camber on these cars (I believe I run close to 3deg. neg). Roll bar basic set up on mine is full hard on the rear and I believe 2 holes away from full hard at the front (can't remember if it's three or four possible settings at the front).
Transforms the car completely on track. If I was you I'd get myself to a well proven specialist to set up the car to suit your needs - Chris at centre gravity seems to get really, really good reviews.

Can't really spent your money better than on a decent set-up by someone who knows what he is doing.

For a geo set-up tailored to what you want by someone who knows what they are doing and makes sure it's got all the correct clearances and everything's tight afterwards and will stay so, go to Danny at Unit 11 or Mike at Sports & Classic.

Thanks chaps

roger that

I am in the same situation are there any good places down Reading/London area for good geo setup on a 996 GT3?

My geography of darrn sarrff is rubbish so don't know if they're near but have you tried Parr?

For a 996 GT3 i'd go to JZM. They set my up and it handles very nicely.

Had a chat with Chris at CG last night, really nice chap and was happy to go through what his thoughts are on the GT3 setup and what can be done. Just have to decide when to rebuild my dampers as I have 50k miles on the car. So I may just get a simple geo done to get me through the winter and then go up to CG in the new year

Ps sorry for the thread hijack petfroguk

No problem, new cups fitted today, dropped a line earlier this week to CG but not heard back yet. Anxious to get the set up right before tyres wear and well before next year's track days.
