If Sasha suggested running race gas on the track, I'd listen to him. Might be worth asking what octane he suggests, 100 is less of a difference than jumping up to 110 from 94.

You could also ask for a less aggressive tune that's safer for track use if you don't want to have to source race gas. Race gas is significantly more expensive than 94 pump.
That makes more sense now. Costs are adding up quickly that's for sure ahaha. Brz will soon just be a track car, just need to find space for a trailer. Averaging 12L/100km with the added noise and being 6"3 tall is not fun for a daily driver.
