Is anyone concerned about having to constantly carry around a few jugs of water with them to every track day if they live in hot climates? Wouldn't that be a massive pain? Or is there something special about the tank?
Not sure this is necessary...it should last a full track day, even in hot summer months.
Also, there seems to be a misconception on how this works: Even if the water tank is empty, you can still race your GT2RS. You just will have less power (if it is really hot or whatever driving conditions which would induce some sort of a heat soak). At least this is my understanding from what I saw and heard.

So after reading the information from the main site, it seems the water cooler help keep temps down for the 700hp engine. But what I'm also wondering is if the engine itself produces 700hp and the water helps to produce additional hp, or if the 700hp is only with everything combined.
The reason i'm wondering is because a few people say the 488 gto is going to be a mild hybrid, and I'm just wandering which would have more heat soak and be more of a pain to deal with on a hard day of tracking. I haven't heard of many stories with the laf having heat soak or battery overheating issues, then again, few lafs do hard tracking.
