Here is some video from the August 28 Exotic Car Day at Toronto Motorsports Part at Cayuga, Ontario. This is a fairly short "technical" track with a lots of turns.

It is a pretty safe track to run and really only one place you can bend the car which is the wall coming out onto the front straight. Unfortunately a Viper lost it there a couple of weeks before and wrote the car off.

This is my first event with my new CenterForce clutch and it worked a lot better than my old stock one. It was the second event for my new 275/35/18 Nitto NT01s.

It was a very warm humid day but I was fine with my new Cool Shirt. Thanks Norm for the suggestion!

The car however did move the idiot temp gauge above centre a couple of times but a few slow laps brought it back down very quickly.

And finally here is the video;

My fastest lap of the day was my last lap - chasing two very fast Porsches!

Just FYI, the cars computer does know the actual coolant temperature. One thing I like about the aeroforce interceptor scan gauge is that it can read that value, it plugs into the OBD2 port and reads all the sensor data. It helped me diagnose what was going on when I threw a belt and get pulled over before the temp got too high, I know the temp got up to 242°F by the time it was safe to pull over, but there were no lingering overheating issues.

Sleeper, you sure can drive the **** out of your car, bro. I want to be like you when I grow up.

Seems like you're getting a lot of practice this summer, too.

Thanks for the praise. My big problem is that I am not consistent. Going back this weekend to see if I can get under 1:26. My best lap last weekend was 1:26.150.

At Mosport I am doing doing pretty well but once every year my Brother gets to drive my car at Mosport and he is always about 5 or 6 seconds a lap faster than I am and a good lap is about 1:45.

Of course he is the Co-chief instructor for the Porsche club and figures he has over 10,000 laps at Mosport.
