We have track time under our belts but common sense finally prevailed. I can see more track time in RCF to get the blood flowing. Comfort of RCF makes it a pleasure to drive at any speed. I highly recommend getting some form of clear bra protective coating on front bumper and lower grill.
Post your track times. I expect to see some interesting runs from drivers who come to understand the nuances of running the car.

I ran a 4.2 0-60 mph today in low 80-degree Fahrenheit temps. The surface was warm and the 275s stuck to the asphalt. It was a no-sweat run in Manual, Sport + with Track engaged, and I expect to see even faster times. I had a half tank of fuel. If the fuel is minimized for a run, we'll see 4.1 times and possibly better.

I wish. I used the onboard lap timer. It was easy to engage and disengage as the same button on the steering wheel serves as the start/stop switch. I only had one pull of the paddle involved with this run, so it worked well.

vbox is definitely the way to go.
