Randy, give me a call if you need an alignment on Thursday (Peter should still have my cell #). I can check with Fiorano to see if he can take you. You will be driving right by the shop on your way to Mosport.

<-- check the avatar, that's how highly I think of him.

Mr. Cuatro Punto Cero wins another DE Cup

I think its more track familiarity, the T1 record at Sebring is 2:18 isnt it? I think DE cup just needs to learn the track more.

This will make it car #8 on my list of documented limp-mode/overheat problems with the MP4-12C.

The door issues are both: unable to close and unable to open. Well known, it is being repaired by adding a door latch on all cars as part of the 25Hp upgrade package.

The overheat/limp-mode issue has not been resolved. The engine compartment temperatures are measured, and when they reach a threshold, the car enters limp mode. The Gallardo, Murcielago, and all recent Fiats have the same system. However, the MP4-12C being a Turbo car generates more heat. It is going to take a while to resolve this one, as it is extensive work to be done (Turbo jackets, insulation, additional transmission cooler, Turbo oil cooler).

Emotional decision, I would dump the Scuderia for a MP4-12C (a no options car, except paint and few carbon). Rational decision, stay away from it for a few years, or probably forever if they continue the tradition of British craftsmanship.

3 laps?!? Never ceases to amaze how this stuff makes it to production. You'd think they'd take the mules to the hottest track they could find and run the snot out of them with AC maxed out....

Nice Mike. Looks like you are getting a handle on RA . What's with Lewis. He has been really quite even for him.

Mancation has been tough on my RS. Bad downshift, broke engine. Will take too long to fix engine so I need a new rs ASAP. Prefer one with track suspension setup, roll bar, harnesses, side muffler delete, all already done. Wish list would be black/gold or blue/gold.

I'm here. Having fun and trying to stay out of the big boys way. Did manage to run a couple laps in the 34's with new tires in the afternoon.
