Default I'm on Heaven First Track Session

I'm on Heaven... First Track Session!

I took my new 11-ISF to its first track session @ Dubai Autodrome.

At the beginning I got very frustrated since I didn't fit under the roof with the helmet on! I had to drive with my head tilted! I was really very upset and annoyed. My frustration turned into a smile just after few laps. I'v completely forgotten I was driving with my head tilted to the side. The ISF is a magnificent track weapon.

I look forward to going back to the track. I think next weekend is a track day @ Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.

What sort of tire pressure I need to run for track? Temperatures nowadays are around 27c (around 80f).

Default I went back on track this weekend

I'm really happy with the ISF on track.
It never feels out of control, I can go back on throttle really early and it slides beautifully around corners without the TC cutting off the power.

I have Porsche Boxster that I occasionally track and it's a beautifully balanced car but the ISF is really more fun to drive.

Nice pics...sounds like you're having fun. I imagine the Boxster and ISF are two totally different cars on the track. BTW, what is the black car/roadster in the pic in between the Evo and ISF?

No Sir, no bucket seats, the ISF has to maintain its DD capabilities.
