That is a long track with very lil engine braking. On shorter tighter tracks like here in the US engine braking and slower speeds will cause you to go into limp mode... I know it happened to me at lil tally but I was smart slowed down my lap time for 1-2 laps and then jumped back into it. My avg. temp was in the 250's - 260's and on my harder laps was bouncing off the 280's. Take into account I was in similar conditions as the video except temps were around 57 degree F. If you know about lil talladega you know that most people avg a mid 1:1_ or a 1:2_ around the track. My first couple laps on cold tires started @ 1:12 and progressively got down to 1:08 in the wet! we timed it compared to the other cars on the track such as modded 135's and s2k's, modded C6 Z06's. A pretty diverse group and the Z was one of the fastest rides in the wet. The Z is truly a remarkable car with great potential!
