08 Cayman S on track question
Hi all,
After 2.5 years of ownerhip, I'm finally thinking about getting on the track with my Cayman S. The car is pretty much stock; I will put some upgraded pads on at the very least in the front and some better brake fluid.
Do I need to worry about anything on this car? I understand there is an oiling issue; is that really a problem at a track like Watkins Glenn if I am just running street tires?
Thanks in advance!

I started with my Cayman S just like you are proposing. Tons of days at The Glen with no issues at all. Of course as i got faster i did the basic mods still with no issues
You will love the CS on the track

With street tires and being a novice driver you should have no oiling issues at WGI. With R comp tires and higher speeds, turn 6 can aggravate AOS issues. I recommend that you make sure that your power steering fluid is topped up as there can be pretty high steering loads in the uphill esses. If you change brake pads, do both the front and rear.
