Default Track day preparation - ISF

For those who went to track day with ISF, have you experience overheating in brake, transmission coolant and engine? As for earlier GTR, its common that the tranny gets overheated after few laps and had to cool down before hitting the track again.

I am prepare to change all the oil and lubricant prior and just wondering if anything I need to watch out for. Many thanks.

From all the reviews I've seen they are already robust track cars with fluid cooling and brakes well up to the task. Imagine ambient temps would affect quite a bit though. Will defer to those who have actually raced their cars though.

There's a part of me that got really excited when I read that post... I really want to track my F one day and actually "really" learn how to drive this car

The car is very well sorted out and well prepared for track. You don't need to do anything, just take track it and enjoy.

I tracked my brand new 2011 in Dubai hot weather with no issues at all!
