Just returned from Las Vegas Motorspeedway, a disappointing outing with the Cayman S.
Every lap would result in a massive amount of smoke and a dash lighting up like a winning slot machine!
The smoke was so heavy that I couldn't do a second lap. (Black flagged)
Yes, I had checked my oil levels to be sure they weren't overfilled.
Ultimately I had to pack it in.
Aren't these cars supposed to have a "racing heritage"? I can't comfortably use this car for a DE now. Anybody else experiencing this?
See the prior topic threads discussing oil ingestion, breather tubes, etc. and the solutions from Mantis Sport, etc. It happens under certain conditions with even the recommended amount of oil in the engine, I think the condition is a sudden decel followed by a left hand turn followed by a right hand turn, but I may have the sequence wrong. It is harmless stuff but irritating nonetheless...

I've had the same problem but usually after the session is over and the cars been sitting with the engine off, when you restart you get a cloud of white smoke. Do a search on the forum, cos I know I've seen this before here, I even think there's a solution with some form of oil baffle system from Motordrive or something. Never happened to me on track and I was never blackflagged. Was it a road course or an Oval? I could see the sustained G's on an Oval causing this.

What lights on the instrument panel were lighting up?

Happens to me on a hard decel and then a hard left hand turn. There is no cure that I know of. My CEL light would come on and off. I have the Sump extension from Mantis Sport - it helps but is not a cure. Ernie at Mantis Sport was working on a solution at one point but nothing as of yet that I know of. They did come up with a cure for their racing Cayman but it took up the entire rear section of the car if I remember right.
please explain to me, are you guys saying that i need to spend money on mods to get the car run on track??
Its an intermittent problem for me and I never get the christmas lights so in my case, I would say no. Just a little smoke thats only scary if you don't know why its happening.
Here are some pictures of the BB smokescreen I was following him at the time. The common thread here is rapid decel and hard left. Well, we were slowing from about 140 mph to nearly 0 to navigate a tight left and continuing left to get going on the infield course.
Oddly enough, my car did not exhibit the problem, even though I was going almost as fast through the same course. I have had smoke come out at SOW going CCW through the tight left hand 180 after the downhill front straight (through the skidpad), but no CEL ever came on.
Gave me some worries about track readiness also, but mine is still holding up.
Hope you figure it out, BB.

Reason: Added last bit from duplicate post
By the way, here is the cockpit view of the 21 degree banked turn at the end of the LV SW oval that we did before the back straight and the subsequent decel and left. It was a hoot

I went out to LVMS and watched the time trials on Saturday, and yes, they used a large portion of the high-banked oval - I don't recall seeing Bodine run, but I watched Naybor run and didn't see any oil clouds from his car...
Hey Naybor - it was great to meet you, btw...
