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!

6/15/2024 marks my first month of owning the 2024 Porsche 718 GT4 RS. What better way to celebrate than its first track day at WeatherTech Laguna Seca! On the way to the track, I finally completed the break-in period at 930 miles, allowing me to enjoy hitting 9000 RPMs for the first time. It did not disappoint. At the track, I ran the car completely stock with factory alignment, Michelin Cup2 t...

Best lap of the day and my very first track day at Sonoma Raceway on 3/31/24. I can see why so many folks call Sonoma their favorite NorCal track! The car handled beautifully and felt very balanced. Looking forward to shaving off more time the next time around.

Conduite virile et efficace !!! 👍
Thank you!!
Nice driving! What tires are you running?
@@kevinhamann6027 thanks Kevin! I was running Yokohama A052s here!
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?
Great start! You are going to crush this next time!
Thanks boss! I’m certainly going to try! 🫡
Nice lap! Any issues with sound? 103db day?
Thanks! 103db day, no issues with sound!
@@edwordsigh I'm glad you mentioned the OEM brake fluid. I was contemplating do my first track day in the 4RS all stock but I think I will at least get Endless fluid and a track alignment done first.
@@richarddykmans6507 agreed! Get the brake flush at the bare minimum!
Yes this was a 103 day! Never had issues with sound. Alignment was -2.8/-2.5 F/R. Suspension parts used are listed in the video description.
Beautiful lap! That's fast as hell. How do you like the A052 tires? Would you recommend these for people who want to upgrade from stock tires?
Thanks! A052s are wonderfully sticky. I think they’re better suited for autocross but work fine on track as well. They require very little warm up. You’ll get your best times by lap 3 and then they start falling off. Give them a shot!
That’s prob the worst driving I’ve seen from a GT3 owner this year. Someone give this guy some freekin lessons. SMH…
Agreed.
Was this a 103db day? Any issues passing sound? What alignment setup are you using?
Great driving! Very smooth . Do you have any power mods?
Thank you!! 🙏 I should have added that I do have BMC air filters and a Kline exhaust, however I wouldn’t consider them significant modifications.
