He was busy changing his brakes on a roadster at the time, didn't want to badger him too much.
Point of reference, someone measured the surface temp of the track, 142 degrees. This is about as extreme as it gets out here. My instructor in his e46, smg had to pull back, temp needle was in the red. Even with the temps, weekend was a blast.
Others I've spoken with seem to like the car, wish it was lighter with better mpg, but thats about it. Those were all the MT guys though.

Do you know how to get in contact with this guy? Is he a forum member? This should really be tracked carefully to see if the DCT cars overheat faster than the MT's. Did any MT drivers have any problems?
What systems are shared in the DCT that are not in the MT?
