I heard Porsche throw out that figure, I've also seen 80% by them.
I'm thinking they are including folks who have attended at least one beginner's PCA DE and counting that as a
typical track driver. Porsche do not stand by their warranty once a GT3 hits the track. Are 70% of those owners saying "F*@% it... if I blow up the engine at Sebring today who cares"?
I'm skeptical...
If you poll owners for those who track their GT3 at least twice per year, I'm thinking that 70% figure comes down substantially and more inline with typical Porsche ownership.

As for the hybrid stuff, maybe the Cayman GT4 will be a sort of high performance guinea pig.
A 425 HP mid engine, shorter wheel base Porsche is bound to attract the attention of a lot of track drivers. Well ones with deep pockets. c7 with track goodies on board can be had for same money and a full warranty to boot.
