Awesome! I definitely need to invest in some re71s before my next track day

Kind of hard to tell in that video - but it looks like a 997 GT3 Cup.

I'm on board with the re71r as well - going to finish off the Contis they put on it at AMP and then upgrade before Barber.

MayorAdamWest can you please list your mods if you don't mind?

So pretty much stock? Lol

[David@ActiveAutowerke]

Anyone going to Sebring next weekend the 12th, with Chin?

Took the M2 out to play for a bit this weekend, so thought I'd add a data point

MidOhio 8/18, Club course (with chicane): got into the 1:42s
BMW HPDE Instructor session with traffic, Sunny & Dry, 84 degrees F

2017 M2 DCT
Stock (non coilover) suspension
Stock Michelin Pilot Sports

Mods:
PFC08 Brake pads
-2.75 Front camber plates

Just playing on Friday - not a race car, but still a hoot, and hanging pretty well with the prepared crowd. One week after Nascar ran there, folks weren't bragging about a particularly fast track, so this seems pretty solid for a daily on street tires

Very solid indeed. I have only been to Mid Ohio once so I may have a bit more speed next time, but the best I was able to pull in my e46M was a 1:45.8 on the club course. Had a few buddies down there for the weekend but unfortunately I couldn't make it.

Well done, I was there with you that day in a near identically set up LBB car on that track for the first time and got best of 1:44.9.

Visited New Jersey Motorsport Park for a two day event at Lightning with BMW CCA Del Val. Fun track with really good flow.

Did a (barely) under 9min lap around the Nurburgring.

I think I need to adjust my driving style somehow). Interesting that it's the left front in a counter-clockwise track.

This doesn't have much to do with your driving style, it's the tires that are not designed for driving on the track. Plus WHR/Palmer surface is very abrasive in some areas with some off camber turns. Your front left was eaten up by corners 4 and 9.

I took my wife's 135i there last October on some 3 years old Bridgestone RFTs... Barely made it home after loosing chunks of thread going sideways in 4/5. It was fun though, managed 1:54,79 on those tires

My best recorded time at Mosport was 1:42 this morning, the last 2 session my phone didn't want to connect for the M Laptimer app, might have improved a bit on that. This was my first time out in my M2 at Mosport, loving it so much compared to my 228i, I was just under 2 minutes in that (but also less experienced and running in novice with slower traffic).

Stock DCT on MPSS except for RS29, I'm a little worried to see how the shoulders are doing when I swap back to stock pads.

Ahem...aren't you an instructor? Misleading times. You're expected to be good.


I was at NJMP Lightning, this past weekend...again. My best time was 1:21.77. Stock car. Also, got signed off to the next group up from novice.

Tell that to the guy who was driving the E36 race prepped car as he was passing me like I was standing still. No one is Senna out there (except possibly E36 guy), we are all just having fun and learning.

Great to hear you're progressing and congrats on being moved up!

Definitely a second or two left in the car. Was a really hot and busy day – two students plus giving rides to family made it non-stop and hectic. Did a number of 1:02s in the first morning session with a passenger and in traffic but didn’t feel like I was driving as well as I could have and see a number of areas to grab tenths. A best virtual time in the low 1:01s confirmed that. Hoping to get into one minute flat times next time at LRP though that might not be until next year.

Also, much better tire wear now that I have GC plates and running 2.7 degrees.

The Vid is from the late morning session and en-edited.

[M2joey]

I upped my time (w/RE-71Rs on) at Summit Point - Shenandoah a few weeks ago. I know the car certainly has more as well.

1:41.38

[J.M]

Did a 2:55:79 at Spa-Francorschamps but had already run out of battery on my camera.
Have a 2:59 ish video with traffic though:

Nice! I had a day with PFAFF, but had my GF in the car and she wasn't handling the ups and downs from repetitive turn 4, 5a,5b to 6 corners. Kept it it a bit slower and wasn't too close to my own comfort limit. Plus the track was damp. I think at that pace I was only doing 1:480-1:50.

I'm pretty sure in my F30 335i I was faster, but it didn't feel as nimble or confidence inspiring. The hairpin in the m2 felt so much better. The dealer days are more expensive than the trillium days and you don't get an instructor, but the plus is it is quite empty.

What was your top speed on Andretti Straight after you crest the hill, just before entering on turn 8?

221km/h was my top speed just before the bridge at 8, my 5b still needs some work. The grip and turn-in on the M2 with MPSSes was so much better than the 228i (of course the tires on that were also much worse).

I'm back in October with Trillium, probably do all 4 next year and probably most of the Pfaff days too. This year I did the Pfaff DDT day in early May, that was pouring rain so it ended up being pretty quiet. I couldn't do the Pfaff GP day this year, either I was still in Germany on ED or I had gotten back and was without the car, I did my first day with Pfaff on the GP track last year (I think it was cheaper then too).
