I've been tracking for 10 yrs in instructor groups on r-compounds in bmw/mazda/acura/mitsubishi...never had any issue that would result in black flag. the amount of smoke i saw in the video of caygirl would most likely get you a black flag. if it happened a few sessions in a row, it would get you parked. it's not acceptable in any car that has pretense of being a performance car. GM durabilitytests frikken <25K HHR & cobalt SS at the nurburgring and a 60K+ uber sports car has to be babied at a DE?
