Nice video, that Z4M has good manners on turns but seems like not as strong as the 1M on straights.

Mark how did the AutoX go over? I never heard anyone talking about it and didn't venture to the back paddock to see it.

I didnt make it over either.. i have not yet received the official results, but I know that a mitsubishi owner (jeremy Foley) had the best run time. he may not be a CCA member however... so thay may be under protest.. Ken orgeron was the fastest BMW |

Foley and his co driver got TTOD and second place in the prepared Evo. Ken led the BMW times in third overall. I managed fourth overall in my Elise. The course was in the low 30 second range and was designed by frequent SCCA Nationals course designer Roger Johnson. Luckily the lot dried out quickly after the Sunday morning downpour. We got 7 runs. We had about a 20% no show rate, probably due to the weather. Fun event, but we are still waiting on the official results.

M6 Gran Coupe Ride
Here's my video from the M6 Gran Coupe exerience at COTA. The drivers were the Spartanburg Performance Center instructors. Unfortunately, the exerience lasted less than 2 laps. Our laptimes were in the low 2:40s which is impressive considering the car was loaded with 4 adults.

I got to ride in the M5. Pretty sweet too...I was impressed with how well it was taking the corners on street tires. The guy driving ended up drifting all the way around T13.
And the size of those brakes... Did you guys see the model they had in their garage? HUGE!!! The rotor was almost 3/4 of my arm.

Mark,
If I read the rules literally, "Instructor supervision is required at all times while you are on the track.", it appears that even advanced students will have intructors riding with them during all sessions. Is this right? Also, how large are the run groups going to be? Should be another great event! Glad BMW NA is helping out by renting the track for the week because COTA really increased the track rates this year. For those who haven't made it to COTA you should really try to make it to this event. It's a fabulous facility and there are very few opportunities to drive the track.
