thick smoke while racing

This is the first time it happened, i was racing, i was in second gear, about 4k, and it started bellowing thick smoke, once i stooped at a red light, it stopped, the smoke only lasted for about 30 seconds, i have recently did some checks to see about a leaking coolant seal, i did a surge test (gyser) and i checked for bubbles, which all passed ok. so i dont know what it is, it seems to drive fine, temp is ok, and oil pressure is ok. an ideas? occasionly when its cold in the morning i have some white smoke, which usually starts about 30 seconds after starting, and the rpms have dropped.

sounds like your oil seals are bad...though you can still drive the car without problems you just need to fill it up with oil EVERY week.....

That could be two things, it could be your turbo, or it can be an o-ring, or a jam on your crankshaft where the oil is injected, thats ok. Just make sure the car does no run out of oil, keep on topping it up.
