718 GT4 Chasing a 992 GT3 | Laguna Seca | Feb 2024

Gave my buddy Jeff a ride along in the GT4 on a Laguna track day.
Ended up being a pretty fun session trying to keep up with a 992 GT3. Couldn’t make a clean pass with the passenger in the car!

That was FUN! Great lines and control. Boy those tires must have been greasy! Nothing but respect for taking the pit lane sir.

@@PropDeskJunkie thank you! Very fun chasing!

Wow, great driving! Question for you - I too have a 718 GT4 and took it to Laguna a couple of weeks ago. In the later sessions, under hard braking on the entry to turns 11 and 2, the car refused to downshift from 3 to 2. It felt like the shifter was physically blocking the downshift. Have you experienced anything like that at all? It was fine in the earlier sessions and I had no issues the last time I drove at Laguna just a month ago. Also, as soon as I got off the track, the downshifts started working again with complete authority. I read some forum posts that suggest a load on the transmission might cause the gates to move, but I can't seem to replicate it on the streets.

Thanks! Sounds odd, I never experienced that issue even when running full 20 min sessions. Perhaps ask your dealer or service center to see if they can take a look?

Nice driving! What tires are you running?

@@kevinhamann6027 thanks Kevin! I was running Yokohama A052s here!

That’s prob the worst driving I’ve seen from a GT3 owner this year. Someone give this guy some freekin lessons. SMH…

Agreed.
