Nice... I love your car, wish I could have one.

Do you have air conditioning in the car?

What kind of interior temps can it keep when it’s 90F outside?

Not just the MR, all the 718 GT4 Clubsports have the AC option, I also have a helmet blower connected to the AC which is very nice.

It does still get pretty hot in the cabin and at WOT the AC turns itself off so you don't lose power to the car but still 100 times better then not having AC.

Also still run a cool shirt on those hotter days.

The Coolaklava is really effective as well.

Nice driving and very quick lap! What tires were on the car? Michelin slicks?

Yokohama's, believe I would be a second faster in the Michelin's but the Yoko's are very consistent and don't have a huge drop off which I like, and they are also our series sponsor tires.

Nice drive!
If I can shave 1 second off every turn, we'll be neck and neck.
