Decided to take my beast off road today!
Haha not really, but just wanted you guys to get a small taste of how bad track conditions can get around our neck of the woods. So please don't get offended with my comments about cold air intakes, open type intakes and alpha N tunes.... I have a good reason to be concerned!

Enjoy a short video I made of today's morning track session! I had the camera mounted on the hood as well, but honestly... it was a waste of time and not worth posting at all!

Yeah I would want a sealed intake system if there was that much dust here!!! I'm actually surprised you run when it's like that.

I am glad you made it back to the pits safely.

It must have been like ice skating with all that dust on the track.

When the E60 came out, it blew away supercars..... When the F10 comes out, it will be middle of the pack even in a straight line.

Ahmed;

I can see why you have trouble and would like to pose an inexpensive solution for your personal health. Please drive to the nearest McDonald's, order a small order of french fires (it is on me), and place two of the larger potato slicings into each of your nostrils without ketchup, and you will not be impeded by dust and dirt; I can guarantee you that.
