Second track day with the GRC with 1,600 miles.

I wasn't expecting this lap to be fast (last lap of session 1), and there's still more time in it! Power steering still has brief intermittent cuts under high load situations and the transmission I still feel is best left in automatic (when driving all-out). Later in the day I hit the AWD Overheat for the first time ever. I did push the car fairly hard for just about the entire session and on the last lap before the checkered flag, the Oil temp was ~265F and the Transmission temp was ~245F. I felt the car had already started pulling power the lap prior and the car was immediately sluggish when the overheat message popped up. 

Most of the other things I said in my first track day video with the GRC stands true. 

I ran in HPDE 4 today and it was OK. NASA NorCal still has work to do. What I can only describe as an obsession to be different than the rest of the HPDE clubs clearly causes them more trouble but they won't let that go. Overall a fun day, giving rides to a first-time HPDE attendee who also had an automatic GRC (was in the parade lap intro group), as well as an instructor whom I met through a coworker that moved form the North East.
