I look forward to a lap where he doesn't run off the outside of turn 1 so badly and gets into the 1:11s.



As the M2 supplants the M4 as being the best sports car in the BMW lineup, BMW should seriously consider naming the next " 2 " platform a " 3" and having coupe, sedan and grand coupe iterations and then making the next 3 series a 4 series, in sedan , coupe and gran coupe iterations..
Turn 1 at Hockenheim is a corner where allmost everyone goes wide. IIRC they have had to warn drivers during F1 races to stay within the track limits at turn 1 because they tend to go wide there to carry more speed onto the following straight.

To me the lap looks to be a very good one, I'm not sure there's a lot of time to be found, but of course every lap can be improved (even F1 drivers do mistakes quite frequently)

DTM, F1 etc go wide there



The first video didn't work for me , but the Porsche GT3 driver certainly negotiated turn 1 just like I would like to see the sport auto driver do....

Using all the track and the runoff area but not sideways and all crossed up while doing so


On BOTH of the laps there are simply times where the driver is crossed up and losing time.



I'm very familiar with the fast line around an F1 track.. We have this thing called COTA here in Texas and I've managed to drive a lap or two on It ...
