A Few Laps at Auto Club ROVAL

First time out with the ZL1. I really have a lot of confidence in this car. Never seemed to heat soak and although the oil climbed to 300 the water temp never wiggled off its normal point.

I need to get the feel of the braking points, steering and PTM settings. I ended up going with PTM5 after the first session and that seemed to be the best.

Second time at Fontana and 7th track day overall. Black run group.

Thanks for posting. Love watching these, as I anxiously await my 1500 miles break-in so I can get mine out to an HPDE.

Great stuff! That long banked oval section looks scary. I'll have to check into Harry's Lap Timer.

Thanks for sharing. Fun course isn't it? I remember getting my Ducati 999S up to 170 on that front section. I hope to see you at a few future events out there!

Very cool video.

Does not seem like the ZL1 gets much props or respect on this site anymore but this video reminds me that is was and still is a beast on the track. Seemed to be effortlessly passing everything.

Yeah it is. In watching the video, I had more fun than I thought I had. LOL. It would be great to have more ZL1's at the track. There's obviously a LOT left in the car so it should really click off the laps when I get things figured out.

Enjoyed meeting you too. I'd like to hit a track, possibly Buttonwillow in the next month or so. Maybe I'll see you there. We need some more ZL1's at the track!
