Closem4ever:Congratulations beautiful GT3 . It does look great with the satin aluminum wheels . Did you by chance try the flat shift function?
That doesn't really fit in the running-in procedure. 
How does it work?

Congrats, looks very special and I admire your courage picking up the car after such a long flight/day and driving another 700 km in it in such bad weather on semi-slicks. Even I wouldn't have been that crazy. 
4.0 bar? Ouch. No wonder. Dealer is an idiot, sorry to say that. Happened to me as well (not 4.0 bar but dealer always tends to put the "comfort" tire pressure instead of the normal one, so I always end up getting a tire pressure warning once I pass 270 kph). Tire pressures are no joke, dealerships should be much more careful about them.
Well, you got to Bruxelles in one piece, just another adventure, remember the good moments.
Enjoy and drive safely, the new GT3 is an amazing car.

Well done to pick up a color without seeing it first, we are on the same boat 
Olive green looks fantastic but again not really possible to see it from the screen...
GT3 Manual with the proper wing is a great choice.

@porker
The flat shift function (manual gearbox) allows to up shift without releasing the throttle.. It is described in the user manual . I haven`t tried it on my GT3 as I am not brave enough to drive it in cold and wet weather (sadly here we have plenty of it right now)
Porker:I have them at 2.0F-2.3R cold now, too much?
I run for street driving 1.8 and 2.1 . They are good up to 2.0 and 2.3 on the street . They heat up pretty easily in summer so you are quickly over the ideal running pressure .
I would not want to drive with any pressure above 2.1 and 2.4 on the street when tire are hot .

Congrats!
I hope to see the car in IRL :)
"On the negative side I feel the fixed buckets lack support in the lower back, especially compared to the excellent fixed "Carrera GT-buckets" in my RS."
I like the new buckets but the old ones are actually better for me: When driving with 6pt belts I need to strap in really hard in the new buckets to avoid sliding in the seat. In the old Carrera GT Seats I'm really locked without needing to strap me in so hard.

This is the one I use (rolls up very small for traveling and is self-inflating or open valve and squeeze out the air to make small):

Porker:Thanks guys! I can't wait for the break-in to be over. I'm at 6k rpm now, which is about where everything starts waking up, really frustrating.
When I started with a 5k redline, I felt that way too (that it was just waking up). Keeps feeling that way at every 500 rpm incremental increase at least to 8,500 rpm. Truly, every 500 rpm higher it feels much more lively. The last 500 rpm aren't that big deal (other than just being cool and giving better revs in the next higher gear after a shift), as the power is falling after 8,250.
You'll see. 6,500 rpm will feel much better

I assume you've also done that AP break-in? 500km, 5000rpm, and then +500rpm each 200km?

nberry:Wouldn’t the tire pressure gauge in the car warn the tires are grossly overinflated?
This is a very good question, Nick.
The color is unique but appropriate for the car. When you look at the car, the color pops.

You would think, but no warning whatsoever.

Gnil:Warning is only for under pressure
Warning yes but the system should display the correct pressure(s).
He was probably too tired to check and he didn't switch to the tire pressure values. Also navigation was probably was on, so he paid more attention to the nav display.
Doesn't matter, dealer should have taken care of this. What a shame.

I wasn't familiar with the system to be honest, first time 991 infotainment, didn't even know it had TPMS.
