Default Lightish smoke @ 140mph

Just coming back from work this morning and gave it soon beans pedal to the metal on a privert bit of road i happen to look in my mirror to see if my track mate is close and all i see is this lightish smoke coming from my car. So i take the foot off and smoke stops pedal to the metal smokes back, so left foot off. This did not happen in any lower gears say any thing below 130 any faster and smokes there. Now i'm thinking this could be oil coming from the intercooler (topmount) as it's built up is this pos. Any tip bits apart from dont go above 130. cheers.

could be soot, but could also be oil blowing past the rings. you could ask one of your trackmates on the "privert" road to follow you & see what exactly is coming from your exhaust. Or you could get it checked out by a specialist, which would be my advice.
