Took the F8 to the track for the first time, E-DIFF, F1-Trac, Manettino failure

These cars are sold with the implication/pretense that you can track them. I don't think they're really up to the task. Maybe something light (a few laps) at best. I think Ferrari knows most people won't track them. Ferrari track consumables will shred through your cash faster than a Vegas casino.

 

Ugh.

Check your battery.

 

Agree. Could be as simple as a bad battery. The alternator isn’t necessarily running on track as it can get turned off by the computer to conserve power. So if your battery isn’t in great condition it can lead to electrical issues. Note the car may crank and start at voltages below what makes all systems in the car happy.

 

Something def going on cos I haven't heard any F8's having issues like this at all... on track or not.... I vote for battery or a ground too

 

What tire sizes and pressure you have?

 

It sounds like the car may have exceeded some of it's component temperature parameters and gone into 'safe' mode.

What was the ambient temperature like on the day and how hard on the car was the track in terms of braking and accelerating

 

Whats your vin so everyone can be sure not to buy your salvage abused ****box.

 

No, he’s just being Eric. Which means your car will be fine… get it to the dealer and can’t wait to find out what is happening.., I’m sure it’s no big deal.

Mostly likely it is a battery going bad.

 

I’ve already had to replace the battery in my 2022 Portofino. My dealer put an aftermarket battery in, which is their standard policy because the Ferrari OEM batteries are so awful.

 

You don't say where you or the track are located. The whole country has been experiencing ultra hot days over about the past week. 90C tires translate to almost 200F. 100 degrees F typical ambient translates to over 210 degrees on the track.

My theory is that a number of under hood components got overheated and threw the odd codes. Sounds like it is going to take a dealer to reset them after investigating the components.

 

It's not funny. It's not cute. And you've had enough warnings not to be abrasive towards new members.

Send your apology to the admin email provided and I'll consider readmitting you. Indefinite ban applied.

Regards,
Andrew.

 

Fchat party pooper police showed up.

 

LONG overdue....the cat can't change his stripes as we have seen here MANY times....the forum is better off with a perma ban.

 

Absolutely ridiculous… pure and obvious humor and banned for it. Grow up people. Talk, chat, say whatever you want, find it funny or don’t but stop policing peoples’ personalities. What’s the matter with this sensitive world?

Mostly agree with that - only counterpoint is that a rookie not familiar with Mr Eric may not have the background to understand. Still, some explanation would be better than a ban IMHO.

 

Back to the problem at hand.

I had this issue. Turned out to be a blown fuse. I believe #A40 or something. I posted about it. It took them a long time and cost me $350 to diagnose that and change the fuse. Also changing the battery (not just charging it) was done and those two things helped.

Eric has had explanations on previous occasions. He's run out of leeway. We take a very dim view on making new members feel unwelcome.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

ya, that's why I immediately responded and explained-- simple logic, I'm sure the 'new guy' wouldn't have had his life spin out of control over the comment even if I didn't respond so quickly.

 

Make it permanent. He won't be missed.
