How hot should I expect to get in the cabin during a session? Trying to piece together whether or not I need a coolsuit. I know there are a lot of factors in play, but I run mostly desert tracks as stated in my OP. Would hate myself sitting in 120 degrees for 20-30 minutes at a time.
I've heard that 86Cup Socal Stock is a very competitive segment. Is it the right segment for a beginner to start in? 0 track experience, unless you count Mario Kart.
