Thanks. Took the GT3 to the Ridge yesterday in Pacific NW with all day coach. More precise than the C4s and lighter. Rewards good driving skills ( keeping car balanced, throttle steering, carving turns; great brakes, using throttle to keep rear planted) and dislikes poor driver inputs... and lets you know about it. Great feedback. More track days planned locally with instruction.

2nd track day completed. What a great day at Pacific Raceways up here in the PNW. Warm almost hot weather. Surrounded by good Porsche buddies who also had great days as well. Feeling a lot comfortable in the transition from C4S Pdk to GT3 driving, shifting, precision carving, turn rotating, throttle steering while maintaining smooth inputs and weight balance. This track is different and older than the Ridge and that is great having variety.The PCCBs have great bite and stopping power. RSS center bypass sounds great. Grill screens did their thing looking good protecting. FVD DRLs work great , no issues. Did not use on the track but will on the street for the at times inattentive public.
Next week used GMG roll bar, new GT2 seats and Schroth harnesses, BK subbars and fire extinguisher mount get installed. Now I will need to practice getting in and out of car along with necksgen device. (safety mods)
Will have next track day 9/29 at the Ridge again. Should be fun as always.

Just completed 4 track days at two different sites up here in the pacific northwest. Season is winding down. Last 2 time experienced my GT2 seats with schroth harnesses, necksgen device, used GMG roll bar and felt secure in my seat. FUN,FUN FUN (once I got everything on)
Car will get some coolant added (running water wetter on the track) until welding this winter....and maybe other mods as long as the engine is out depending on budget..
Car getting full front fender wrap (has partial now) to complement full hood placed last month; then a good wash/wax by Metropolitan Detail before essentially winterizing. Then the C4S will get more attention..

Here are some more pictures of my GT3, now hibernating for the off season. The C4S is now getting the workout. Just came back from a great vacation in Germany; 10 days of german rail; 4 days of driving around Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Black Forest on the A-8, A-5 autobahns. Nav system in German is challenging. Went to Mercedes and Porsche museums in Stuttgart and Munich (BMW). Highlight was the Porsche factory tour in Stuttgart. Told us where the 918 were to be assembled and saw the flat 6 engines being put together. Brought the nat Geo special to life.
