TRACK DAY WITH MY PORSCHE 992 GTS - Do Stickier Tires Make It A Mini GT3? (Plus Hot Lap)

Today I head out to Eagles Canyon Raceway to drive my 911 992 GTS. I previously did 2 track days in this car with the PS4S tires. Fastest time with the stock setup in cool weather was 2:05. In warmer weather like in this video, my fastest time stock was 2:07. Today I was able to get a 2:03, however my GoPro battery was dead during the first session, so you can see the 2:04.0 that I got here. A 4 second improvement on a 2 minute track with just a tire and alignment upgrade is very good.
Tires used in the video: Goodyear Super sport R
Alignment: -1.3 F -2 R
Other mod: SRF Brake Fluid

damn Ive never actually seen the lap timer in use, thats sick asf; so stoked to get mine

Yeah it’s great when it works but sometimes it can glitch and not record your time. The infotainment has a sport chrono app also that is more reliable and works in a similar way

It would also be interesting to know the reference time of a GT3 on that track! Thanks for the video :)

I have not driven a 992 GT3 myself, but I've heard others get 1:58 with the 992 and 2:01 with 991 GT3.

Great vid. What app is that you’re running for the times on the PCM?

[@carswithnate]

I’m using the porsche track precision app. You need to use car play via USB for it to show your data while you’re driving though

greetings my friend. I own the same vehicle as you carrera gts and I have a problem with track tires. as you know, you cannot buy tires for the track in serial dimensions. What are your impressions of the dimensions of the GT3 and are there any potential driving problems. did you put tires with NO markings or without them. I plan to put a cup2 in gt3 dimensions with NO markings. please help, how did you arrive at the ideal solution and what would you do differently now?

[@carswithnate]

The Goodyear supersport R is the best tire for the GTS for track use. There’s no issues with it on the street as well. It’s a factory tire for the 992 gt3. It lasts much longer than the cup 2. I wouldn’t recommend a cup 2 because you will have to replace them after 3-4 track days. The Goodyear super sport R is the best choice right now for summer/track tire.

thank you for your reply. now I'm wondering if you had problems at the Porsche service because they told me that I will lose the warranty if the vehicle does not have tires as stated in the specification.

[@carswithnate]

My porsche dealership recommended me these tires and I have no warranty issues. I would try going to a different dealership.
