To put this in perspective, I did less than 1900 miles in a season of racing with test days, in the Porsche Club Championship ...

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Porsche NA have issued track maintenance guidance/instructions for the GT4 - shades of GT3 centre locks.. specifying rear hubs and bearings change at 6k track miles and front and back hubs and bearings at 12k track miles. Also amusingly check rubber stops on rear lid at every 6k track miles.
The high track mileage may only be relevant to but a few but with the centre locks, OPC's were supposed to require sellers to disclose track mileage on cars they sold, but never did. I was never asked when I sold a centre lock equipped car to an OPC who knew the car have been tracked. Another pass the (liability) parcel job which does the brand no credit.

In fairness, the track mileages suggested represent massive workload for the components mentioned.
It's worth playing the game on this.
The replacement parts are not expensive by comparison to a potential failure at real speed.
Accepting that there is huge safety-first in these figures is very reassuring.
But I know a man who had a hub carrier failure on his 964RS NGT at Spa --- he could have written himself and his car off and was lucky.
Calculate -- who will really do more than 200 miles on a hard track day ? Not many ... so 4000 miles is a lot ...
How many spanner checks is that per OPC proper proper check over ?
To put this in perspective, I did less than 1900 miles in a season of racing with test days, in the Porsche Club Championship ...
You know it makes sense
Sorry !!
Using a GT4 on a track is utter madness. Have you not thought of the damage you will be doing to the resale value?
Only joking, it's what it was built for. Unfortunately there are too many looking at investment potential rather than enjoying it for what it was designed for.
I spend all my time worrying about it
This was running in ...
And this was after the last PCGB track day at Oulton Park --- where I finished running the car in.
