    Gents,

    Being a new owner, the dreaded F1 issues have come up (and this is why I wanted of having a 3 pedal car). So as of late, the car has been throwing the low pressure F1 warning on the dash intermittently. It just beeps here and there and then stops. The car gets warmed up all is well with it.

    So a few days back, took a longer road trip about 90 miles or so outside of the city into the country. Had a few fun pulls with a few cars through redline in race mode. The light never came on and I never had a slow down light either. Car shifted just fine and no issues. As we got off and came to a slower road, while in gear (after crossing some railroad tracks) the clutch began to slip. Im quite used to this as it has happen in my manual cars.

    I limped it to our destination and let it sit for 2 hours. Got back in, drove like nothing happen - literally. I didnt try redlining it, but figured the clutch got too hot (heat being the weakness of all clutches and grabbing capacity) and all is well. Just wondering if any of you have had "overheating" clutches from some semi aggressive driving? 300 miles ago, I got a clutch snap done at a dealer which showed 54%.
