How many 2-wheel off from Izzone?

How many spins from GT3DE?

Is trakcar 1.1 clutch still alive?

Is the Black Flag count higher or lower than RA and Mosport?

Peter can drive my car at Tremblant if Trakcar 2.0 doesn't survive.

What d'ya mean "4 off"? Trying to find a shortcut...

Trakcar 2.0 is happy in Florida still in the original clutch with 13,000 miles, 2/3 clutch left after many drag races, autoX, ProSolo, track days, TT and burnouts.

Trakcar 1.0 got the 4.0RS clutch upgrade, but Trakcar 1.1 is lacking this upgrade and the cheater brake cooling ducts.

Peter should ship the 4.0RS clutch parts to a local shop and have them on-call in case 3.8RS fatality #3 occurs.

A bunch of 2:220 but they were all out laps. Lots of traffic.
Seems slow when well driven M3's are about the same...

Fun difficult track, not so good for our cars, tires and gearing.

Got yelled at by instructor when I started looking for grip. Told me i was screwing around and too close to other students and I was passing in corners, but they were all point by?
I offered to let him out in the pit but he decided to stick it out.
I should have communicated better that I kinda figured out the track due to his help and was taking it from the student line to the fast line and I don't nessesarily accept his line as the fast line for my car.

Thought crossed my mind..
Brake upgrade is needed. These crazies finish flag you in 3 corners before pit in. All 3 of us were standing there with 4 columns of smoke billowing of the brakes.

I have not had any limp mode messages like all fiats have though...

Ok so 1.50.9 is the time to shoot for? Help a friend out
We might be drunk by noon if my pp goes as well.

Mid ohio with no grip then I know your true feelings about it.

I thought Peter would've done the upgrade knowing the inevitable was going to happen

Marc, sorry to hear about your car. I know milo will keep you company all day while your keeping the blonde, Blanche, and other flavors cold
