The original reports on the 991GT3 were that the car could exceed rev limits. I found it puzzling that would allow that and the reason for me highlighting the remark.

 

That would be puzzling and the only explanation I can see for that is that the protection circuit was too slow to respond to the mechanical situation (seems impossible with DFI - fuel delivery can be immediately ceased, even if enormous fuel pressure remains at the injector).  I think this was just another case of erroneous reporting (like we have seen several times since the press has had access to the car).

And PDK will not allow "Money Shift" based on a computer algorithm (won't allow dowshift, if downshift would put the motor over 9k revs).

Can't imagine any situation that could confound this safeguard, outside of a computer or major hardware failure.
