Considering I have not yet been near the track with the GT3 I have to sadly report a problem with one of the PCCB discs.
Unusually, its the rear driver side disc which has a small chunk missing on the outer edge, approx 2 cms long, 5 mm wide and a couple of mm deep approx. I have been to OPC and had some pics taken and also have talked to a very well respected GT3 specialist who gave me some very good advice and that it was probably a fault rather than anything just unlucky or poor driving. Also added that the pad overall still supports braking and it should not be a problem.
However, depending on OPC ( you can guess what I am thinking) it would be a very expensive replacement for me to pay or upgrade to a complete set of alternatives, which was on the cards for later in the year.
I will keep you informed, but would like anyone who has a rear driver side PCCB going spare to give me a PM.
Off to Malaysia and Singapore tomorrow so wont worry for a week or so.
ps. my free boxster test drive day was canx due wearther but a 997 C2S day is going to replace it - so not all bad.
