Warming up..

Post by Knobby » Fri Apr 07, 2017 8:47 pm

So the warm up process on these cars.. lights on the rev counter disappear is it then ok to slowly start pushing? The only reason why I ask is on the lap timer where it shows oil temperature the temperature isn't even shown when the rev lights go out. At the moment its taking 5 miles and about 10 minutes to get the oil to 70...

Any advice...

The oil temp starts to show at 60 degrees. Most people wait till it gets to about 80 or 90 before giving it any welly.

+1 I second that, best is when oil reaches 80-100 temperature
