+1. Somehow, that makes it less cool because when I watch the video, I am bothered by the type of example this sets.

Regardless cool stuff!
they definitely improved suspension and tries... on such short tracks the suspension plays a major role IMO.

Bingo.

I wouldnt do it without any gear, but if he doesnt want to wear any thats his choice to make. He knows the dangers of racing.

400 hp isn't huge, so it must be the chassis dynamics.

Those seats are hideous... Looks like cheap imitation yellow leather trim. Not a fan of the iDrive knob either looking like a wheel...

No helmet = weight reduction to offset the driver's weight.

Only one shoulder strap and not very big bolsters on the seats either. That car can go faster.

Intresting see how F80 M3 compare, more weigth and little bit power, only wider track helps F80, but thats all.

1M noise is quite intresting (like race car) hope they not added F80 M3 active engine noise system or what it is...

And he looks like there were two normal person's weight in the car when he broke the record (for BMWs). Someone with a carbon fiber helmet and size of a hobbit would shave another second and make it equal with the Aventador time.
