    Pretty much yes, one time the car started to overheat at Stelvio! The GT really lacks low end power here so I tried to keep the revs up but my engine did not like it. Luckily i had 10-60 castrol in the engine so it was ok.

    Thanks guys. I do have time from the ring and its embaressing 11 min. But the reason for that is that my brakes overheated in the mid section of the track and I had to back off untill they cooled down again. Really annoying. I had standard brakepads with Tarox discs and i also had extra cold airfeed to the discs but still they overheated. If i had better pads I would be under 10 min for sure. I have 4 videos from the track aswell.

    Stelvio ist just mindblowing. I just have one tip for you if you ever go there, have your cars sorted out before you go there. Big turbos are not adviced here

    Utterly EPIC scenes and shots mate!! I went to Stelvio too last year but unfortunately I didn't have the punto with me :S

    My first ever road trip with will be less that 2 weeks from today on Mount Etna (Sicily) and am really excited about the whole thing!

    Your punto looks really nice btw
