This past week I had a chance to attend the Bimmerworld race school and also work with Randy Pobst during a subsequent open track event. Seeing the master at work, getting in-car instructions and then doing my best to apply the lessons learned shaved 5 seconds off my best time. Here is a video of Randy doing 2:09s (with traffic), and me running 10s.

And his time included a slow pass in the lower esses ... I expect you to be in the 5s in tour GT4. Will be at FATT tomorrow; if you are there, ITD be good to catch up. |

What did you have to do suspension wise to fit the 275/295 combination?

That’s a super solid time for a 2nd time on track! Not sure how I feel about that line through 6, never seen it before in all the events I’ve done there. Lots of time to pick up in the esses and through turn 8 up to 9 - take all the curb and if there’s no turtles there at the apex of 3-4-5 you can straddle the rumble strips and really straighten the corners. Straddle the curb on 8 going up the hill for a much faster/straighter line across 9.

I have one 2:36.xx under my belt in my outgoing 981.1 Boxster S on RE71's with a whole lot of 2:37s. The M2C is going to be a whole other experience, almost 100 more horsepower but also 4-500 more pounds I think. The Boxster has no guts coming out of the slow 2nd gear corners so I'm excited for some punch but there's going to be a lot more oversteer to think about where the 981 is always smooth and in control. Hoping at COTA I'll be faster in the M2C since speed is a factor there much moreso than somewhere like MSR Houston. SKIP TO 13:50

Ha thanks on the stickers, have them on both sides for the tracks I’ve driven. Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca are on the bucket list but they’re a long ways away to get to. |

Big success today. I’ve been aiming for 7:55 BTG for the last 2 years, and today I got my ‘Ring time down to 7:52.4. Will post some video later. Not the smoothest, and still some time lost in a few places. Optimal time was projected to be 7:47 by Garmin Catalyst.

Hmm, looking at the resolution of the export video, it doesn't look 1080 at all. I wonder why, it looks very high def on the screen of the Catalyst. I need to do some research.

Thank you sir! It's been a long time coming. I've been planning how to get to this moment since 2018, and it's been one of 2 major stipulations which were key to bring the whole family to Germany for a few years.
We go back home in 2 weeks, and I can enter that plane knowing I didn't leave much on the table. Thanks for supporting my vision with tips and information since the start ZM2! Much obliged.
