yeah, 8:07 lap time, but with about ~5-6s lost due to traffic, and ~2s due to turning in too early into Bergwerk. The rest of the lap felt pretty solid execution wise. I posted the full video of lap in the Lap Time thread.

While the Ring has some long straights for air flow, those long 4-5-6 gear pulls generate more heat than the stock IC can handle.

I only ever got no power pulled on track when ambient was below 55F, before my cooling mods.
Thanks for the info. The high that last day was 58F, so makes sense why the car felt stronger.

I have ~9 months left before I re-patriate back, so I want to plan my last 2 track days in the M2 in April next year, before it gets warm.
