Thanks Cuda, great advice and info, apologies for the slow response, been away travelling but good to be back, so you wouldn’t use the paddle shifters as the track mode in full auto will do most of the work ? All my previous V8s have been manuals and given I’ve never done a track day in this car...

Thanks Greenacc, You tube is a great idea, My Track day is at Simmons plains, hopefully I can get a few heads up, but yeah, the 1st few days may well be a disaster as well, But I’m a patient man, and TBH it’s not so much about time and having the perfect lap, more about enjoying what is a such a...

Yeah, I suspected as much, just wasn’t sure if it ( track mode ) completely shut the lot down, like anything I’ll learn, my car control is ok, ish ? IMO , but that’s the fun I guess, with some knowledge and patience I’ll find my way around the track, Simmons plains is a great little circuit with...

Thanks mate, good advice, it does have factory fitted Brembos all round and factory brake fluids, given I hopefully will continue to do track days I guess I’ll learn how much fade I get with what I’ve got and make the adjustments or changes I need to, But like you I have no doubt I’ll enjoy it...

Hi Imoengnr, yeah I know, 1200ks is very low for a car I have now had nearly 2 years, it was one of the last off the line and I took new delivery mid Oct 17. Work, travel and just life got in the way and the fact it’s been wrapped up and not easy to get out and about, but when I have taken it...

Thanks guys, so 2 different opinions on TP, maybe go onto the track around 34-35 and monitor ? as I mentioned I’ll be easing into it and it may take a bit to get heat and TP up but by no means will I be going too slow, I have had a number of decent V8s across 40 years( yes, I’m getting on a tad...

, I actually have a 100k drive to the track, so that ticks that box, I presume the guys running the day will advise on tyre pressure etc, but should be lots of fun, just gotta keep it on the black stuff

Yeah, it’s had it’s initial 1month service plus the 9 and 18 mth services, and the lifter recall done, I presume it’s had the oil change, I know the Ks have been very low and it’s never been driven in the rain, I planned originally to keep ks super low, and use it very little and I’m fortunate...

I have a 2017 Calais Director, I only have 1200ks on the clock as part of the run in process, is it too soon to do a track day, I don’t plan or have the ability to run this car close to its potential performance, maybe around 75 % ? Any thoughts on that, am I going to create cause any lasting...

Congrats mate, that’s excellent, my Director is #161 I guess I don’t need to explain what that number references, I have secured 2 sets of plates, 1 in ref to 005 and one for 161
