M235i Willow Springs hot lap (again), 4.4.2015
Everyone:
Another quick hot lap video at Willow Springs (no spin outs this time) from 4.4.2015. I promise my next videos will feature a new track: Chuckwalla! All the way out in the middle of the goddamn desert! Enjoy. |

On the front straight it looks like I was somewhere between 135 and 140. Willow Springs is a very fast track. A friend of mine in a C7 ZO6 was doing 150+ down the front straight a few months ago. |

You couldn't hear it anyway. Those tires generally aren't noisy and the car doesn't push at all anymore -- just a (very) slight bit of oversteer that is very easy to correct with a quick flick of the wheel. When I get my new rear end put in (in a few weeks), should give me a little push and I'll end up at neutral, or whereabouts.

I have never driven at willow springs nor do I know what a fast lap would be in an M235, but you cracked that downshift off a little early. Everything else looks very nice. Having tracked an E36 racecar pretty extensively, the best part about driving a BMW on the edge is playing withe rear end under throttle.
