Track Day and Cell

I know that many people have found themselves in similar situation that why I need your opinion.

So yesterday was a regular trackday observing once more how wonderful the RX-8 handles at the track. However, as hard turning of course with TSC/DSC completely off (second stage) my car due to my poor ability turned 360. No problem because the 360 was inside the track and not outside. As I tried to turn on the engine because the engine at 360 shut down because I have not pressed the clutch I noticed a cell came on the panel. I just went outside of the track and reset the ECU twice and the cell has gone ! After driving at the track again there was not problem at all. My lap times where the same as no cell has ever came.


Have you ever experienced such a thing at the track?

Hard turns with less than 1/3 tank of gas have been known to cause fuel starvation, leading to a 'misfire' CEL. All the gas ends up on the 'right' side of the tank and the pump loses suction.
