Still warm here.Don't fill the coolant to the max.. It's not an expansion tank per se, so any hard running in hot temperatures will throw coolant all over your engine bay..
However, this time of year in NYC it might not be such an issue..
Make sure you park your car in an McLaren approved spot so you don't get stranded again. If you have a bit of track experience then everything else is the same. Have you tech inspected your car? Do you have an up to date helmet? What color group are you running with?I will be taking the car to the track on Sunday. It will be my first track day with the 12c. I have quite a bit of experience tracking but wanted to know if there is anything I should watch out for with the car?
Advice?

My homescreen locked on the tire pressure! I had to take out about 5 PSI our of each. On the track the backs where nearing 40 and the fronts 35.great info!
how do you disengage the home screen and keep it locked on the tire pressure screen?
I have been trying to figure this out.
Are you a member at Monitcello? Its a beautiful facility, I had the opportunity to track there.Thanks Jerome, I have plans this weekend. But raincheck. Similarly, let me know if you want to go to Monticello some time. It's a touch closer. About 1.5 hrs out.
Yea, I just joined up per 6th's and some others' recommendations. It's a great place, I really like it. Track has a ton of elevation changes too, which is great. I really like the people. Really good drivers (at least when I was there). Let me know if you ever want to head up.Are you a member at Monitcello? Its a beautiful facility, I had the opportunity to track there.
im using Michelin pilot super sports and they are excellent! but I have steel brakes.My homescreen locked on the tire pressure! I had to take out about 5 PSI our of each. On the track the backs where nearing 40 and the fronts 35.
The car handled amazingly. I got the road car record for the track in a 1.35.7. Racing bike record is 1.31.5. There is still some room for improvement.
The biggest problem about the car were the tires. I'm running the P-Zeros. They just warm up to much and the car becomes slippery. With some toyo R888 or a semi-slick, the time would go down maybe 3 seconds.
The ceramic brakes by the way were superb. There is no fade at all. When the tires, where getting too hot, the tires would slide at braking.
Is anyone running non- OEM tires?
