I found that when I was last on the track, it was about 45-50 degrees out, and I was easily able to manipulate my oil temperatures. I did a few laps shifting somewhat conservatively (around 6k rpm shifts), and my temperatures stayed steady at about 200 degrees. The next lap I started shifting at between 7000-7500 rpms and I was getting up to about 225. If I went back to shifting a bit lower, temperatures quickly dropped back down to around 200 after like half a lap. I'll see if things work out the same this weekend, but with it supposed to be around 90 degrees, I have a feeling I won't see even close to as low temperatures and they won't come down as quickly either. I'm sure I won't have much issue keeping it around or below 240 degrees though.

RP2 all around. Haven't checked wear since the 2nd day of the track day last week, haven't even washed the car yet, but from what I could tell, the backs were wearing faster than the fronts, but the brembos have massive pads.

I have never experienced ice mode flash.
