Had such a blast today at my first trackday in my Silver car. It ran like a champ, and was sticking to the corners like glue! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
I did, however boil my brake fluid after flogging the car through the 3rd 30 min session. I noticed the fade early and was able to stay in low gear and cruise to pits, but it was scary none the less. It has 5-lug vented rotors, so this surprised me. I hear that old fluid might have been partly to blame? Any other suggestions? It was not a hot day (60's). -Ross Attached thumbnail(s)
