At minimum, carry the spare part! you can always pay/beg others for help. No one can help if the part isn't available.
As someone who used to drive 20+ year old cars to the track, carrying the spare part is the key. At the track, there is always someone who has had the experience or carries the needed tools, to make replacement possible.

The track box used to have an extra belt, misc hardware, brakes, fluid.... now add in coil and obd2 reader.
I'm not up to speed on the 'new' cars, older box/cayman was just wheel removal and loosen the liner. Coils staring at you. Same thing?

I just replaced all of mine. Just need to jack it up and everything is reachable with the back wheels off. No offense Otto, but find someone with skinny arms or borrow someone’s child for the hard to reach ones. One small Allen bolt holds each coil in place.

I wouldn't take it to Silver Spring. The second time I had one go bad (4 have been replaced on my 14 BS with 72K miles) I had to take it back 3 times before they decided to replace the pack instead of telling me it was a spark plug which I had to pay for even though the car is CPO.

2014 cayman s
made in 2/13 7,400 miles when i took delivery 11,000 miles now makes me wonder, what parts should be replaced based on age alone? maybe i should just replace all the plugs, connectors, and coils? i heard somewhere that plugs can freeze in after about 5 years, but perhaps that is a preconceived notion too! what else?

Yes. I would check to see if the 4-year plug change was included in the CPO. If not you could change the plugs and coils, although I wouldn’t worry at all about the plugs freezing up.
Upgrading to the new improved (?) coils on your own $$ may be worthwhile given the track usage. The plugs are probably okay as is. My plugs were changed after 36k miles and there was a small improvement in power (maybe). Not sure what you mean by “connectors”. The only other preventative maintenance I can think of would be transmission fluid, if that is relevant to PDK. Oh, and change the engine air filters if that hasn’t been done.
