Help deciphering over revs on CGT:

Usually, overrevs are described as Type 1 and Type 2:
Type 1 - you hit the rev limiter accelerating in-gear.
Type 2 - you downshifted too soon, and mechanically forced the engine past the redline.
Type 1 overrevs are no problem. That's why you have a rev limiter. Too many of them would raise the question of how hard the car was driven, and how competent the previous owner was, but a Type 1 overrev won't damage the engine.
Type 2 overrevs are bad news. These engines typically don't have a huge amount of slack for going past redline, and if a too-early downshift forces the engine to spin too fast, it can definitely cause damage.
If Stage 1 and 2 correspond to Type 1 and 2, then this car would appear to have been driven hard and incompetently.

i got the answer. the type 1s no big deal, just on the way to rev limiter. the 825 stage 2 also no bog deal....corresponds to being at that level for a few seconds...a number in the tens of thousands would be bad.
deal sealed.
deal sealed.

its a misshift. the event happened 50% of the cars life hours ago. if that made any sense

ive had 3 porsche dealers look at the report...they all said its insignificant.
