The GTR records oil and gearbox temps and can see if there has been any messing with the ECU or Cobb presence. The car has to have a post inspection if you track it and depending on where your temps hit, an oil change. It's the main gripe as our Porsche "friends" dont have any of this nonsense or expense!
This is for UK cars but assume it applies elsewhere. |

Honestly, you should be doing this anyways if you track your car. Maybe not every single event but regularly depending on how often you are at the track.

You chaps have a much better legal system all round when it comes to cars. Here in the UK it's a battle. We've had Nissan only supplying Dunlops to dealers for them to charge over £500 yes pounds a tyre! All good fun! Still a cracking car and it's going to be a real wrench to let her go in Sept.
I'm sure the 370 will be fun.....and a better track option if only for the tyres! |

IF GTR wasn't auto, and didn't look so plain I'd be all over it.
