The official track day picture thread

e30's are about the same size as a 1er so I say it counts...

Beautiful fall day at Lime Rock taking my student for a spin

Twilight trackday, in Aus. Needless to say that it was was a very special day.

My contribution:

All these are pre-accident and pre wide body, hopefully will have some after 1/26/2013.

It's a club. EMRA. emraracing.org. Usually there are not open wheel cars out there with us. This was actually the first time I saw one.

mb135is · 12-20-2012, 04:28 PM

Amazing pics! Do you guys think a 135is with the upgraded cooling of the PPK2 will have limp mode issues in summer (northeast) track days?

Nugget · 12-20-2012, 07:05 PM

Will probably be fine, just keep an eye on it.

I have seen a few radical sr3's and some other open wheel not sure what it was in a few events. I do agree it's dangerous as purple says. really hard to see and they do sneak up really quick behind you.

+1, especially in the advanced/instructor group. Same goes with the Aerial Atom. You can't even see their point-by, they use turn signals

I hate to say it...but yes. You will have issues.

I do push mine to the limit, and I usually run map 1 with my JB4 at the track. I've had several instances of limp mode being an issue.

The good news is usually you can simply exit the track, restart the car, and them all is back to normal. But it is frustrating.

I'd love to find a legitimate solution for this.
