^^^^^ I'll dig up some of the M3 images I think one of the guys shot. Plates taped for secrecy as we were the only three stock cars...also lots of people taking photos and our plates will end up all over the internet.

Yeah...my huge thanks for the great photos by Ray, Wade, Roger and Mike....
Dave, if you ever do this you definitely need a pit crew and one dedicated camera person as you are way too deep and involved in driving and what's happening to your car to shoot anything worthwhile......

Rick why is that M school so cheap? I thought they are normally like 3+K euros over here!? And where is that school. It would be cool to join you guys for that in Sept. I'm all up for tearing up someone elses equipment! Again great photo coverage of the Spa event! Quote:
How much will that run? I'm just curious, not for me - but for anyone else thinking about doing it. Maybe post a link or make a new thread for it. ? |

The BMW club here nearest me Neckar Fils is mostly a social club, but still cool none the less. Now that you know your supposed to look ahead & threshold brake, and be smooth you'll be all the better. Mod the driver, it's always cheaper and much more fun What is the best section of the track? At VIR I loved going though the hogs pen & was always cautious at the climbing esses.

Video will arrive soon as its surprisingly boring as a 4min track video...with the wide angle go pro, the perspective is skewed and you can feel the intensity or feel the speed...this was a seriously intense drive but the wide-angle video makes it appear to be a Sunday drive...so am editing multiple angles to create the final video.

Best part was the section called "eau rouge"...a 100+ mph curve left and then quick right up a hill gaining a couple hundred feet of elevation and blindly taking another left hand turn, still doing 90 or more....my blood was boiling every time I did this...

Look at that ///M sticker...Rudi's got some bling on his car....nice!
So tell us about your driving experience. Did you do a public track day or was it a club event? Any different than our day in March. What worked better on your car this time? I don't see the 4-points? any other mods to make your car better?
