this car is such match up to the skillful driver,look at those high speed corner, erase up all distance that dragged out by the straight instantly and give the car in front massive pressure.
Appreciate that. I watched a video of one getting to 150deg on track so presumed you had to fit an oil cooler maybe. Which was the reason for the question
Needs some cooling addons. Doesn’t look like a hot day. Seen nuerburgring videos on a warm day where this things dramatically overheat and cant even do one lap without going into limp mode
What was the ambient temp? You had sustained 135+ oil temp and 100+ coolant temp there. Probably going to need some cooling upgrades as it gets warmer?
@@TrackAli Honda talked a lot about improving the cooling issues the FK8 has on track as well. What oil do you use? I use Millers Motorsport CFS and even that is only good for sustained 125c
@@TrackAli it won't like those temps for too long for sure. Might be worth looking at an oil cooler and alloy rad if anything is out for the FL5 yet. Would hate to see engine damage from the oil breaking down!
A good thing to know is to never come to a track day with predominantly cars from the UK. God... everyone is defending the place and pushing unnecessary risk as if there is a trophy in the end... Sorry...

Fantastic driving. Enjoyed watching that. GTi was fast but should have let you pass way before it did!
Great work. Can’t wait to get mine on track, it’s just teasing me on the road.
11:30 why you let him go??
Let's see if the gearbox holds out ... this time!
I didn't think FL5 CTR was already being delivered to customers.
Great vid Ali, lots of action 👏🏆
Thank you sir. 👍🏻
dam love to se the new type R eathing the germans
Fl5 murdered it ❤❤I want one
Damn that was fun .
lovely you dont know what mods on thers cars great to watch
how many laps can you do with this tyres?
Great video. Have you had any issues with oil temp or had to do anything supporting mods
Highest temp we've seen is mid-130 degrees. No issues other than that. No mods. Just change the oil more regularly. 👍🏻

Eurobeat +40hp
There is clearly a lot more pace in the corners on the FL5, those other cars have no chance on a hot lap.
They let you pass but great driving !
The grip of A052 is crazy!!!
We were very impressed with them.
Yet to see the Elantra N's oil go past 120 Celsius
good video, what are your tires? I had road tires ;) impossible to take you in the slow corners
255 / 35 R19 Yokohama A052 tyres - a little narrower than the OEM 265 fitment. 👍
@@TrackAli ok not joke 235/40r18 Michelin sport pilote 😁road tires after 10 minutes it's very hot. Thx for
information
@@Gloupsyland You did very well. We ran PS4S road tyres on our Golf R and found it great for a few laps at a time. Best in the Golf was a 2:57. 👌
@@TrackAli PS4S It's the same of Sport Cup2 ;)
Do you have any overheating issues with oil or water
We haven't run into issues per se but oil and water temps have been high. 👍🏻
@@TrackAli what would be high more than 120°c?
@@lordluis121 We've seen oil temps of 137C on track.

About 16 degrees ambient on the day. You may be right. 👍

the bores are scored at this point.
just pull out the plugs and check with hi res endoscope....
talking from very costly personal experience :(
Lol the type r on the m140 through radilion was a joke
what is up with that GTI - literally keeping you from catching up with everyone else
Humans.
GTI stock aren’t that fast in a straight, surely that one has something done to it
@@petertyper1 I haven't spotted not one mk5 or mk6 GTI in the wild that hasnt been chipped already. They are very fast in the straights.
FL5 needs software - call #teamvtec
11:21 wtf was that? so much faster
That was a McLaren 720S. I believe it was running Senna spec wheels and tyres on the day. It was rather gorgeous and rather rapid. 👍
WTF are you doing to that steering wheel? Try keeping your hands on it.
You left half the car in those curbs. Poor civic.

Did you seriously put your elbow up on the door?
