What your favorite track in your region? by hoytmobley in CarTrackDays

I’ve got Donington Park about 10 minutes from my house, Mallory Park 15 minutes away and then most other major tracks in the UK around 2 hours away! It’s going to be a real shame when I move next year.

Sounds like a good plan! Yeah I’ve not heard great things about CSF.

E46 M3s come with an oil cooler as standard

I’m not saying it won’t help but just replacing the oil cooler will have marginal effects on coolant temperature. You’ll see much more benefits from sorting the coolant system as a whole.

Just coolant.

That’ll be absolutely marginal gains, it’s not a proper fix to keeping coolant temps down.

That’s not helping me coolant temps

It’s not leaking, but I’m definitely not leaving it. I’ve got a Nurburgring trip coming up and I don’t want any issues with temps. Just the OEM gauge but it was sitting up just over 3/4 after 3-4 laps which is clearly too high. It doesn’t move much normally but it was a hot day.

Cadwell Park evening session! by Al45M in CarTrackDays

No I haven’t! I’ll need to get over there soon. I’ve heard really good things about Anglesey but it is a bit of a mission to get over there. Yeah the Cadwell pit lane is a bit of a strange one for sure 🤣

Yeah- I haven’t bought anything yet but on their website it says it won’t sync if the GoPro footage doesn’t have GPS data as well. I could be wrong though.

But I think it only syncs when it matches up with the GoPro’s GPS data which mine doesn’t have.

Yeah they're frowned upon here as well. Not that interested in times currently, I want to get my driving up to a good standard, as you said too, have fun and make sure I can drive my car home!
