motivation!.....

I posted this, my favorite track/driving video, on the 128 modifications forum, in response to a question about a "whining" sound from the engine/gearbox. I got no replies. Disappointed, I thought it might be better appreciated here. I am amazed each time I watch this. If you think you know how to go around any track, here is someone whom has truly mastered the Ring!

good god the guy was on fire! perfect lap, no mistakes. wow! the whining is the transmission and since these cars have no sound proofing, you get to hear everything. I wonder if the m3 is an e36 or e46. probably e36 since the video seems old

my e46 m3 got that same whining sound after installing solid diff & rear subframe bushings.

Very noticeable if I have my rear seat removed too.

Fairly confident that's the E36 M3 GTR.

looking at the grid at the bottom of his wiki, looks like it may be the e46. regardless, awesome driving.

Looks like you might be right. Good thing I said "fairly". The E36 was top of mind for me because that car did some serious work in it's time. Good call!

The E46 GTR appeared in 2001, powered by a 3,997 cc V8 producing 493 hp. It was build in response to the straight-six powered M3 versions not being able to keep up with the Porsche 996 GT3s, the racing version of the E46 M3 GTR 16 was very successful in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), entered by Schnitzer Motorsport.

Two Schnitzer Motorsport GTR cars saw a comeback in 2003 at the 24 Hours Nürburgring, winning 1–2 in 2004 and 2005. On-board video coverage was recorded by the team in the 2004 Hans-Joachim Stuck, Pedro Lamy, Jörg Müller and Dirk Müller effort on the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps.

Based on all the Porsche 996s being passed, that clip appears to be part of the 2004 Nürburgring qualifications.
