    GT3 break in

    end of next week, i'll start with break in. So far i heard that cars today don't need to break in anymore like we did years ago.

    What about the GT3?

    For my knogledge, i thought of doing the first 500 Km not over 4'500 and then going slowly up untill i reach 1'000 Km.

    Should i or shouldn't i?
    Thank's

    Re: GT3 brake in

    Hmm, there are a lot of different theories about braking in. If I were you, I would stick to what the owners' manual says, regardless what anybody else mentioned. If you can show you stuck with the manual, then you can always go back to Porsche if something wrong happens.

    you right. by doing so it says, nothing can go wrong unless there's a factory problem. Anyway thank's and will wait untill car is in my hand and will also read other rennteam experiences.

    Re: GT3 brake in

    When I picked up my car in Stuttgart, they told me to take it easy for the first 1000 km (<4000 rpm) and then start to open it up all the way. That's not what the manual says. It's good to get used to the car's capabilities over time. I now have about 2300 kms on it and it actually shifts much better than at the beginning.

    Which manual though?

    I think the break-in requirements are different in different markets, which makes it seem that the requirements are more based on political/legal considerations than engineering ones.

    thank's guys. i think i'll do like i always did untill today. Slowly the first 1000 km and then go for it. I can't wait

    Re: GT3 brake in

    From what I know is that... the breaking in part is more for breaking in the driver than the car? Breaking in for the 1st 1000km is meant to have the driver to get use to the car before unleashing it.

    Re: GT3 brake in

    Some say you should follow the manual (there is a page in there about this )

    And still others preach, the break in period should be whatever the distance between your home and the closest racetrack is.
