Thank you very much!

Is the drifting in M2 intentional? or the tires suck?

Great video, how come the M2 sounded so noisy? Were the tires shot or is the insulation level just so much lower compared to the M4?

Most looks surprisingly good as a circuit

Yea would like to know more also....it was easy to go fast in my M4...am struggling slightly in the M2. The driver makes the M4 look like a sunday drive and the M2 a battle.

Oh and that guy is bad ass'd

I'm also curious on all the drifting in the M2 compared to the M4.

The drifting is all down to the drive. Any RWD car can drift, just lap time losses.
Don't know if OP was trying to have fun in the M2 and not caring about lap time.

I didn't have enough time to really definitively say, but I felt like the ZCP M3 and M4 were actually less likely to oversteer than the M2 at M School. I was really surprised given the reputation of the M3/M4 for being wayward. I guess that ZCP software helps a lot. Hard to compare because the tires may not have had equal wear. Both on Contis.

I actually experienced understeer in the M3/M4 a few times where the M2 felt like it would turn forever.
