Saweet! How dirty do you get after a track day? Just curious, I got one coming up in October.

Dirt is not the issue. Chips are if you follow someone closely. Blue painters tape is good to cover your headlights and some other areas. A bra and blue tape are the best combination. It is just a car and will wash up fine. The track is why I bought my car and a few chips can be fixed. Go have fun and do a good job of covering the car.

I generally don't like that color, but it really looks good with the yellow brakes. Have you considered ditching the lobster claws? Nice, really nice.

Thanks for the kind words. I got used to the look of lobster claws.

Yes, dirt is not a major track problem other than a bit of dust, even with PCCB. I was lucky as I didn't pick up any rock chips during the last track without any bra or tape protection.

Here is a couple of interior shots.

Spectacular color

Rennlist user 'Oak' has a really neat alternative to blue painter's tape or permament 3M clear bras for track protection at the bottom of page 1 of this thread:

I like the Blue with Yellow brakes... reminds me of the old Sunoco colors on the 917/10 Can/Am car.

VERY nice!!

I like that color a lot. Now that is it no longer a premium color, my suspicion is that it will become a popular color choice.
