Interesting comparo - OG M2 v M2C at the 'Ring

Different drivers, different stock cars, different days - same track.

The guy on the bottom is keeping up and looks like he is driving with calm compared to the guy in the top video. Thanks for posting.

Hah, no kidding. The guy on the bottom looks like he was on a Sunday drive.

I did my first two days on the Ring with BMW earlier this year in 45F weather and rain, and I looked like the guy in the top video sawing away at the wheel. While, I could have taken a nap in my instructor’s car (former BMW Ring Taxi driver), just like the guy in the bottom video.

It’s a damn hard track. I’ve only gotten down to an 8:23 on the full track (sub 8min BTG) on my sim rig in the M2 on Forza 7. I’m certain if I tried to go that fast in real life, the M2 would be in the wall from one tiny mistake. It takes years to master that track.

Allegedly, the Sport Auto driver of the M2C (top half of the video) won the SP8T class at the 24hour race......so he knows the track and is not slow, just a different driving style to Moran Gott - driving M2 in lower part of the video. Moran regularly drives the Ring for Apex and races there for Team Schirmer

Great driving, I also want to see the first part of Moran's lap, because now we have only the 'last' 3 minutes of one lap so that's not really fair is it? CheersRobin

I totally understand where you coming from but I looked for a part without traffic in my lap, this 3min is more technical part of the track so there is not much to gain with power.
I can upload the full lap but there will be a different of 5-6sec because of traffic and power

@M Gott No worries, I bet you're even faster than Christian, same conditions, same car and I think highly of CG/Sportauto. Cheers Robin
To make it a bit more clear

Haha, no. Why should I ? I'm certainly not as fast obviously(mostly because I'm not a local and can't practise that track irl) but I know every turn by heart(Assetto Corsa simulation)

But I was driving the Nordschleife last spring(OG M2), so next spring I'll be there driving my M2C.

I'll probably meet some Apex guys overthere now( a friend of mine has a small 'hotel' near Nürburg castle where we always stay for the night)

Cheers

Top view @1:30 "Aaarrrghhh"...that's me on pretty much every corner at the track, lol.

I think I saw the guy on the bottom checking his email at one point...

Fake news. N55 should have overheated and exploded into bits.
