I check filler cap, oil cap and all OK.
Any ideas?
Track guys know that occasionally after a hard turn, you might get a smoke bomb, often accompanied by a flashing cel and sometimes throwing a code for a misfire and something about damaging cats and all. Seems odd on the street after a u-turn but if your oil level was quite high, it is a possibility.
