My new 2019 GTPP has 750 miles. Is that too soon to take it to the road course?

Was thinking about a half day of "taking it easy to see how the car does". This is not my first track day.

(Everything is ready for the track, except for thicker diff oil.)

I took mine starting at 500 miles on the OD. No problems, doesn't burn a drop of oil between changes. It would prob be better to give the car a little more time to seat rings and such but I think letting it come to operating temp before you thrash it is far more important.

I wouldn't think twice about it. I'd change the oil, get appropriate brake pads, and go have fun.

Five 20min sessions. Car performed well in all aspects, except that the 10spd trans would get confused at times. Tried all sorts of techniques with the trans with no concrete conclusion.
