Runs things hard, they are bound to break. Glad to see this being done on a TRACK and not "filmed in mexico" as most shittubers prefer to do.
Seems to be common issue w mustangs and oil consumption. Consumer enough, and there not enough left for cooling and lubrication.

could be worse. you could spend hundreds on a track day only to have your brand new ZL1 with dealer plates just shut off on you on lap one of session 2 into your day, and then have to pay to have it towed hundreds of miles back home.
happened to a guy at watkins last week. |

A GT4 lost 3rd gear at Calabogie last weekend. Apparently a common issue with those Pcars.
Any car can suffer on a track, while being pushed, especially by a driver that is "hard on the equipment" (as in over revs, rides/dumps the clutch, etc). FYI: if you see a car smoking like this and about to puke all over the track: do NOT follow it, lest you'll go for one heck of a ride, which usually results in a major wreck. |

If you’re ever following a car that starts smoking like that, practice your off line driving, or get around it quickly |
