I did the Austin, TX academy in my stock 370Z. I hit limp mode once on a run when I was behind a very shy driver. He was hitting the wrong apexes and braking at the wrong times so I had to run my car harder to keep up. On the other laps, the car was fine.

I think the organizers know there's some oil temp issues. They were bringing us in to pit all the time, letting the cars cool down.

All I did differently to prepare was change my brake fluid and switched to Mobil 1 5W-30 Extended Performance (from the regular Mobil 1).

That was probably me, sorry.

Nah probably not you. The guy I am referring to drove a black Z.
