30 min total. 10 minute track sessions.

Doesn't sound like much, but then again, I've boiled my clutch fluid after one lap (2 minutes). When the pedal drops to the floor, you can lift it up with your toe and pump repeatedly to get it back. However, once this has happened, you need to flush the fluid. Motul RBF600 should last 2-3 track days, while reports are Castrol SRF might last half a season or more (I'll be trying it out at Willow Springs in two weeks).
