Just put an M2 on a dry day on Sport Cup2 tyres and one of those BMW engineers/testdrivers can manage >10s off of the 7:58 I'm sure. Just like the tyre choice of the M4CS(Sport Cup2) makes 90% of the 7:38, not the rest of their marketing 'nonsense' of losing weight lol.

It's a great achievement etc etc, but at the end of the day you still drive an ugly FWD as a daily. That's not fun in real life IMHO
(it sometimes rains overhere you know) , been there done that

When you think about it.. It took an M4CS with Pilot Cup tires to be only 5 seconds around the ring.. That Damn Type R Honda is pretty damn good. We are talking 996 GT3 numbers here around the Nurburgring in a 4 Cylinder engine car!
