Thanks for posting. How'd they set this up?

Nice, though after seeing Derek's videos and this one I think I am swaying more to BSM. Decisions, decisions. Argh.

snowfro · 04-13-2011, 06:14 PM

Looks good on the track and yeah it is not loud but the sound is not bad. I'm not familiar with this track but I hear it is amazing! I think we'll be seeing some VO action there in the next few days which I'm looking forward to.

Dackelone · 04-13-2011, 06:25 PM

That's a long drive from Sweeden to the South of France! Just to track ones //M. lol

edwardio · 04-13-2011, 06:33 PM

hwelvaar · 04-14-2011, 08:52 AM

Goddamn, there's already people out there trackdaying their 1M.

I'll drive Spa-Francorchamps this summer. Hope it won't rain then.

Edit: in a 1M.

As we can see he is careful with his car, but obviously doesn't know the track...
When will we have some gopro action???

Ahhh beat me to it.

I love that track as well. I have some pretty good photos on it.

bvez3ro · 04-14-2011, 01:35 PM

The wet surface is too loud. 1M has to sound better than a 135i.

hwelvaar · 04-14-2011, 03:05 PM

Couldn't resist to post this. (it's an M3, not 1M)

Check it on HD and full-screen, and understand why Spa-Francorchamps is considered "the most beautiful track in the world" by many F1 pilots.

Note that an M3, driven by professional pilot, takes +3 minutes to complete one lap on Spa-Francorchamps!
F1 car still takes 1m 50 sec.

And I'll be tracking my 1M there this summer. Yippee-ki-yay

p1rob · 04-14-2011, 03:40 PM

Awesome vid,1080p full screen

thanks for posting

YVES1M · 04-14-2011, 04:33 PM

WOW!!, to bad we have to listen to a ferrari amazing sound at the same time..

BForbes · 04-14-2011, 04:53 PM

Seeing this vid makes me want AW. I have BSM now and I have AW envy.

While on the Spa topic...speed comparison GT vs F1

These corners are called "Eau Rouge" and "Raidillon". After a long straight down, it's a short left followed by a long, right upward corner (which we see both in the vid), and then blind into the next left corner.

After some practice, I dared to enter this corner at 160 KM/h (100 M/h) with my stock 335i.
I noticed they guy in the M3 video does it at 180 KM/h. Now watch how slow those GTs are compared to F1.

Mind-bending !!

jnm · 04-14-2011, 06:00 PM

Nice video indeed.

He crosses the white line on pit exit though, you're not supposed to do that

.

HondaGoneRogue · 04-14-2011, 06:03 PM

WOA!!!!!

my best time in my 135i was 2.58s, and I'm not a professional pilot... The best I have on video is here:

I would hope to do better in my 1M next year.
