I looked at my videos of when I was trying to push the car through the hair pin a little faster and my lap times are still the same.

YUP !!! I know.

It was CRAZY hot the day after. I think that Sunday we were at 117 or as I call it one hundred and F$%!!

Do you have an oil cooler? My temps went up to 4 bars while autoxing in 100F weather. Not sure how it'll fair on a track at the same temp.

4 bars is nothing. Wait until you really push with higher speeds. I woul STRONGLY recommend shifting early. Like 500-800 rpm below red line. It will keep the oil temps at 6 bars usually.

Yes. Then the clearcoat starts chipping off. Repainting my brakes is on the list of things to get done. Along with a host of other things...track use takes a serious toll.

I have a set of front and rear rotors and pads waiting and have a feeling they will need to be installed sooner than later because I have black lines on my rotors. I think I'm going to slow down the track days a bit. Next one is Halloween weekend.

That's good, it indicates your ISF is being driven as it should! I always look for the caliper color, if I see gold lettering, I know I have a potential customer... white lettering with 3" drop, stretched tires, and hellaflush look, I know it will be a hard sell:-)

Right on ! I'll have to get a better shot. Every time I leave the track I feel a little guilty about pushing the car. You go home and you clean the car, unclog the drilled holes in the rotors that are filled with brake dust, cringe a little when you look at the tires, then download the video. Watching that video immediately washes all that away and within 10-15 minutes I am all ready to do it again.

Next track day is a Halloween weekend and it is being held at Arizona Motorsports Park, my favorite track in AZ. It is the newest track, the longest track, and also the closest track ....... my favorite. Also since the photographer that we use is a "snow bird" he is not available during the summer sessions so no cool photos when its hot . Looking forward to adding some cool shots to the garage gallery
