Burning Brakes
I read the original thread and I don't want to mess with it. I've raced all over the USA and Canada and have never been on a track that allowed running windows-up. Which doesn't matter, as my racecar has no side windows (saves weight!), and yes, one time it did start snowing mid-race. Anybody who doesn't get the point of running windows-down needs to take their favorite race club's Crash 'n Burn course and discover just how long it takes to knock out a shatterproof side window when your only tool is a fire extinguisher, with the driver slumped inside unconscious, the door jammed, and the car on its side and on fire. Hats off to the track workers who are out there to save your life!

One option that is not recommended if you ever want to sell the car is air-conditioning delete. “Only 20 the 5,000 first generation 991 GT3 RS owners ticked the box for a/c delete,” said Oliver. “The fact is that while the 14kg weight saving might sound good on paper the discomfort you will experience when wearing a race suit and helmet on track in summer is simply not worth it. You will be hot and bothered and slower because you cannot concentrate as well compared to when you are cool and comfortable.”
