Hi Racers,
I Like cars to travel over any other method.
I can't wait to get my ordered GT3 and listen to the exhaust during the trip.
Here in my country the minimum degree is around 0 C (32F) but just for 1 or 2 months and the Maximum is +50 Celsius (+122F) most of the year.
I am traveling over my 2001 BMW 740iL for 800 KM twice a month in very hot weather and once i reach my destination i dont stop till I go all around the city also during extreme hot weather (Almost 60C (140F)) without any problems. So the car was running for almost 20 Hours without shuting the engine down. dont foget this is V8 car, heavy and large and very hot weather. amazing car.
My 2010 GT3 must handle such behavior so what do you think Racers.
Can it go with these conditions without any problems!

Almeena, I don't think it will be an issue. I've driven my car flat-out on the track in 30C weather, lap after lap after lap with no issues. The oil temp does go up, but it stabilizes and doesn't move from there. I would imagine doing highway driving in 50C is less stressful than running to 8,000rpm for 30mins in 30C weather.

I drove mine on the track frequently in the 90*F days of texas in 08 and never had a problem on the way back to work in the afternoon with temps of 100 or more. tires won't last very long at those temps though!!!!

Never an issue... even during hard 110+ degree days continuously on the dyno out in AZ on 91 octane etc... Runs like a champ. These cars don't suffer from heat issues unless of course you pop a coolant hose

Or you pick up debris that is caught on the radiator grills, possible if you go off track. This did happen to me, we run our track days at an old airport with a great deal of hay/grass on the track surface.
