Some may say that the M2 is less pure, because helping the driver a tad too much. Others may say that it's safer and compliant.

What a blast! Can't wait to track my car!

I live nearby and am I member of the Lime Rock Drivers Club. I find Lime Rock to be deceptively difficult as do a lot of professional drivers including the driver that the front straight is named after.

That's what the driver did. Look at the steering wheel (no M-DCT paddles) and the right arm of the driver.

Lime Rock is a momentum track and does not require a lot of gear shifting.

In any case any time you shift a manual transmission you can't have two hands on the steering wheel.

Limerock is not an easy track by any means. One mess up from the left hander on your laptime is off.

Anyone in a m2 have any lap times?

I ran a 1:02 in my m235 last week.
