"Light Lapping" = running about 6 to 7/10's on street tires. For reference my personal best on that track is 1:21 in a stock Miata (I don't track the Porsche). I was running 1:25-1:27 in the Z....definitely not pushing it at all.
"How many Sessions" = open lapping, maybe 100 miles on track, no more than 25 minutes at a time and usually ran no more than 2 or 3 laps once oil temps went over 250.

The car never went into limp mode. My vote was for "no issue" on my poll, but given what appears to be some hysteria relating to the Z oil temps I was interested to see what the track guys thought the results would be. Haven't gotten the results back yet, but I have been surprised before.
