Finally got the car out to an event to do a shakedown before I start bringing it to track events. Wanted to make sure overheating was not going to be an issue and it was the perfect day for a torture test. Ambient temps were 110* in the high desert and with not turning the car off between 5-6 runs each time and idling in staging the car never overheated.

Toyo R888 tires were losing grip but they are getting towards the end of their life cycle and pavement temps were off the charts also. Played with the tire pressure settings but still didn't seem to help much!

Should have setup my other gopro closer to the windshield for runs as it was so bright out that the camera had a bit of trouble capturing the interior and exterior exposure lighting. Oh well you can still make out the just of it and see the fun we had. Got caught in a snap oversteer situation on the second run that would not stop snapping back and forth as I tried to miss the oncoming cones. Never lost it but me and my buddy were dying laughing :smilielol:

Glad you had fun Boost. I've experienced this light issue a lot on my Viper. The light coming in from the rear hatch and front windshield confuse the hell out of the camera. Best to mount it up outside the car or directly off the rear view facing forward is a good spot too.

Was definitely a fun time! Can't wait to get it onto the road course. Nice to finally be able to enjoy all the work put into the car since buying it.

Yeah definitely! I have a few other cameras I had with me but didn't mount up. Got too caught up in the fun and didn't realize there would be an issue until I got home back to my computer. Not too worried though plenty more opportunities and track days to come!
