Well of course it needs a few tweaks here and there but we beat Walter Rohrl time in the GT4 around the Portamio circuit in testing last month which for a little old 4 pot 718s is not a bad result.

We set a time a shade over 2;03 on the day, probably could have dialled in a little more camber as well to help, but on the same day 991gt3rs was 2;00 around the circuit as a comparison. Think about this - only 3 seconds off an RS time.
So take one 718s, add our performance pack including suspension set up, brakes (if you have steels) and you have a track car that is very capable.
I think once prices drop on the 718s, we will see a lot more of these cars being used on track given how capable they are.
We retained the stock Porsche PASM Sport suspension and added a custom DSC, plus some arms for more aggressive set up. On track that was very controlled, but I do think changing to a firm spring like the R&T Ohlin set up would give more, but only if you were really wanting to extract that little bit extra.
Brakes are a new combination we have of a race pad that we have been testing for over a year along with girodiscs. SRF fluid etc.
On the tuning side, I created a track map, that focused on a little more grunt between 60-100mph from coming out of corners.
All in all a good and successful 2 days of testing.
Any questions feel free to ask.
