Default cosworth grey smoke ?

hey everyone,

I'm JP Feil , living in the netherlands and own a sapphire cosworth for half a year now.

last weekend i joined some drag racing event , the day before i practiced some starts and noticed that there comes grey smoke out of the exhaust. i really never drove it to the rev limiter in the time i owned the car... and there isnt any smoke if you boost it on the road ?

they funny thing is that the smoke comes the moment you finished. so no smoke on the racing itself.

after the run i let the car running for some minutes to cool down again and there was some grey smoke still , then 15 minutes later its ok again.

i wonder if this is something mechanical or just a bad tuned engine ?

the car is chipped and also has a oil catch tank ... ?
