Little update to this. We did our first track day in the car yesterday! Was hot as hell 95 air temp. (dont even know what track temps were) Those temps are very hard on supercharged cars and EVERYONE struggles with tires at those temps! Our IAT's were hitting 160 even with a big intercooler. But car ran great all day. Runs 100 oct so that helps a lot concerning detonation at temps like that.
I let my son take the first run of the car and he was busting new PB's by his 3rd lap. He got out with a huge grin on his face. I was super excited for the next session.
I did not even fully push the car all day really. It takes a lot to get used to a new car and how it behaves. Dont want to put a brand new car in the wall or ball it ever ever really! At temps like we were running, the tires are a challenge. But all the way around the car was solid as can be. Not even coming close to pushing braking or turning limits. But still scrubbed off 2 secs of previous personal best on this track. (even with insane track temps)
Vid of me reeling in a GT3RS. Pretty much the pinnacle of track cars. He has a few hundred HP on me, but I am almost 1500lbs lighter with more downforce. There is a lot more in this car in the corners and braking, and cant wait to learn to drive it closer to the edge of it's performance envelope!
Full fire suits and gloves for driving. Hot as can be, but super happy to be out there!
Pics of my son on first run and then a vid of me going after 3RS on track.
CAREFUL!!! Vid is LOUD w/ wind noise!

We had quite the group of cars in the paddock. That green SF90 was fun to battle on track. I could take him in the corners, but on straits, his 1000hp made him disappear as quick as I caught up. P-cars are the cars of choice for most. But I have always liked doing my own thing....
