Wow, I enjoyed that! Thanks!

clubsport · 06-26-2017, 02:03 PM

Very Nice.

The first 10 minutes I was thinking "You got it, trust yourself, commit to 6". And then right at the 10 minute mark, you settle in and start hitting it.

Good stuff.

Martin Tomczyk's time on a stock M2 was 1:40.88, set 3/16.

BruceM · 06-26-2017, 10:49 PM

Damn. You gotta be dead not to get off on that stuff. I noticed the same thing: at about 10 minutes, maybe a little earlier, it gets smoother and faster, as the driver starts consistently hitting his spots and gets in a groove.

Makes me want to go drive...NOW!!

Good for Martin. Winning hpde doesn't mean anything. Racing well thats a different story

mike@x-ph.com · 06-27-2017, 03:30 PM

Nice!

_M4CHINE_ · 06-28-2017, 02:53 PM

That was awesome!

Well done, with no drama to boot!

Well, for sure that car had race pads because you can hear them as he pulls in. M coilovers? Factory adjustments to software (engine, diff)? For sure, that car was not "stock".

Both guys are good drivers. Let's just go with that.

VCP · 06-28-2017, 03:42 PM

Very good driver.

Bosozoku · 06-28-2017, 03:57 PM

Great video! He took the double-apex "pro line" through the Andretti hairpin.
Pretty sure they'll tell me to take the single-late-apex "student line". LOL.

Martin Tomszyk was 2011 DTM champion. I think we're comparing apples to oranges in this case though Webster is a good driver off course...

Nicely done I can really appreciate it because that track can be super difficult if you go about it incorrectly.

SpartaEvolution · 06-28-2017, 06:52 PM

Some great driving!

lm1z · 06-28-2017, 07:48 PM

Looks like same M2 in this video

Eagle1oh7 · 06-28-2017, 08:11 PM

That Challenger though, it looked unsafe, good thing he didn't stay behind him past the corkscrew.

e92_m3 · 06-28-2017, 08:20 PM

The view, the sounds, and the driving lines are just like playing grand turismo...

Love it!
