Hey 1560, at Spa tomorrow !?? hope you'll get some nice weather
Here's the thread about the Nürb trip ==> http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=690337 Already there 2 times with my ex-911, 1st time with the 1M. Great balance and acceleration but must have better brake system than those crappy mono-piston Some 1M's are booked for the 28th, hope my friend will shoot some other great pix grtz.

Probably this will be the first upgrade on the 1M. After I've read some good reviews of forum members about the brakes and brake fade I was hoping it wasn't necessary. Not sure if I would change the tires. The Toyo's really make a terrible noise but the amount of grip is fenomenal. And I don't like to have 3 sets of tires. summer, winter and race tires. It is just too much

Catching all those bastards who passed me on the straight
The brakes are just good on the road, but on track, this car needs something like the (future) new //M brake system with 4 pistons on the front & 2 in the back....

Hi guys
I have a question. Because the option list is different in each country it's maybe the best if I ask you guys. I have the navigation package. So the usb connector is included. But I also took the option 6NF Smartphone connection. I thought it was a holder for my iPhone in the arm wrest but now I'm not sure. They didn't ask which phone I have so I'm afraid it is only the aux connection. Can you guys clarify this one for me because my dealer isn't very sure about this one? When I test drove the MINI JCW I could see movies from my iPhone on the navigation screen. But I checked the forum and apparently you need an extra option for this one. some kind of adaptor? Just the USB connection is not enough. I know we don't buy the 1M to watch movies in it but how cool would it be to play the Top Gear review when someone drives along for the first time Thanks guys

Here are some pix of last monday's MLR trackday at Spa-Francorchamps.
A great day, a little bit too hot, but it's definetely better than rain Lots of crashes, less people on track since 3-4PM, time for me to set a new best perso lap at 3'04"40 full stock except racing brake fluid. Time to edit the video and I'll post it..... The tires were very hot, so several checks to set the best pressure. This track still amaze me every time I get onto it The pix are from my friend Dim! hope you'll enjoy. See ya Elitt's 1M & mine :

The track really is amazing. My first time with the 1M will be on november the 7th with driving fun. After I've changed the brakes.

Ouch, remember the Nordschleife crash last year involving a Ring Taxi. On the race track you're left to your own devices and skills.

Yes, unfortunately lots of big crashes on monday, this ZR1, an X-Bow, a Mitsu EVO, a M3 who looses a wheel just before the Pif-Paf, 2 Porsches on the straight after the Raidillon with a runaway just after.....
Anyway, was very hot on the track, and the 3 days of Spa Classics just before made the track a bit slippery. I had to adjust tire pressure 2 times. 1st time for me on open pit lane, much better than the "runs" system on the public days, less people on track in the afternoon, I improved my best lap with now a 3'04"40. Will post the vid when edited.... I an now sure that the next step on the car is front brakes improvement Here are some pix from my 2 friends :
