I have some leftover BFG to burn up, so as long as I can find a way to get both my car and the Porsche out there I'll be able to give rides. Long story.

Oh man. I would love a ride in the Porsche.

Did the Toter-home shit itself?

Does it even have a passenger seat yet?

No idea. I heard Porsche and "rides" in the same sentence so my Porsche obsession kicked in :firehop:

Got a 2 car trailer available? I have a big truck and I'm itching to tow things!

[fsmtnbiker]

No, I have plenty of truck - Our 2-car trailer is being used for storage at the moment, and the toter is getting "upgrades."

Maybe it won't poke holes in itself any more. Guess you'll just have to drive the Porsche on the street and annoy as many people as possible with that flat 6 awesomeness.

Upgrades, you say?

Gah I really really really wish I was back home now. Dat Beetle.......

Man, I'm still stoked about getting to drive Alex's Mcoupe. I put this vid together really quick, and I haven't even looked at video of the M5!

Awesome. What was the black flag for?

[ltz Viper]

sweet can't wait to see the M5 in action

[Eric]

Awesome. What was the black flag for?

The session right before I drove Alex put two off on the exit of turn one. The rumble strip caught one of the plastic under panels and it was dragging on the ground. I pitted and the dude that runs HPR pushed it back up and all was well.

[Eric]

Vid of the M5. Didn't that great of footage, and it sounds like the external mic placement gets blown out by the exhaust at high RPM's so I need to find another location for it.



Also Chris, for the few seconds I was behind you, I could see that your lifting your inside front tire the entire way through turn 5! :eeek:

Dude, it was awesome! I've been riding high all ever since. It was super productive to ride with you in my car. I went out after that and pulled a 2:10:45 with going easy on the brakes and blowing the exit of 6. I really wanted to get a sub 2:10, but took the gas down to the wire. I ran out in May, so I knew better than to push it one more lap. It was so frustrating to leave then.

Today the M Coupe caught my eye as I was walking in from a parking lot and I ended up staring at it for 5 mins. I need to just accept that it wants nothing more than to murder me on the track and drive that bitch. I think there is a 2:08 in it with me behind the wheel. I bet you could get it down to a 2:05 with a couple sessions under your belt.

The telemetry revealed some pretty cool comparisons. I'm working on putting a split screen of our laps together.

Come on, get one :twisted:

[Cloudbase]

Done. Pretty cool watching our lines. I'll make another clip of the battle I had with the Nizmo 370Z and a few others later in the week. Watch it on full screen to see both screens.

Split screen comparing mine and a friend's laps at High Plains Raceway. My lap is on the main screen, my friend's lap is in the upper right (couldn't do a proper split screen due to iMovie limitations). I ran a 2:10.66, he ran a 2:10.30. I did this to compare our line's and Harry's Lap Timer data. The start timing of the clips and finish is off, but it's a great comparison of our lines. After riding with him I ran a 2:10.45 with some errors. I think I've got a 2:08 in me and he is capable of a low 2:xx with more time in the car. Car specs below:

2002 BMW M Coupe, S54, 3:46LSD, KW V3's, Swapped Strut Hats = -3.5 degrees Camber, IE Green Subframe Bushings, Sport Mode Enabled, DSC Off, Momo Mod Drift Steering Wheel, Motorsport Euro Floating Front Rotors, Spent Hawk HP+ Pads, Dunlop Star Specs, Harry's Lap Timer Pro v16.6.2 on iPad Mini, Emprum external GPS.

Thanks for posting this Alex - very unique and informative way to see a "side-by-side" lap (I wore out my pause/play button). Seems like T11 is one place Eric carried a lot more entry/exit speed.
