    Suspension at work

    I posted this in the media section but didn't get much response... so I figure the suspension subsection is equally relevant.

    Here is a view of the front suspension of a Z4 M coupe turning laps at the Nurburgring. The car is one of two Z4s run by Adrenalin Motorsports in the VLN Championship. All I know about the car is that it has MCS 3-way adjustable shocks.

    This would be better with an exterior review and someone commenting over how different aspects were working, IE this left hand turn is where the larger front swaybars help with front end grip

      Watching the brakes is the coolest thing.

                    Cool angle! I can't believe how long the sway bar endlink is!

                        I know! Must be something in the class rules that dictates stock end links

                        That is a sweet video. I wish I could have gone to O-fest this year!

                          It was definitely awesome!

                          BTW, that is the back straight with the first braking spot coming into eiscurve through the carrousel.
