Saw this on the f30 forum...
Made me grin watching the video of an 228i on the Nurburgring. Video might have already been posted on this forum in the past but still fun to watch.

Thanks! Nice video, but there was obviously a few amateurs on that track (especially the dope in the silver merc). A good car in the hands of a great driver can beat a great car in the hands of an average driver.
I've always wanted to see F1 mix up the grid. What would Hamilton be able to pull off in a Williams this year? Conversely, where would Russell have ended up if he were in a Mercedes? Do you still think Hamilton would have won? Would Russell have ended up two laps down? Alonso for the past few years is a great example of a great driver in a bad car. It seemed like he always over-achieved with it (when it didn't fail on him).

Yup, driver is everything. This is why I drive "underdog" cars, as this scenario is all too common at most weekend track events. Have similar stories of passing 911's/M4/Vettes at Area 27 (super fast and open) when the F22 was almost stock lol

Here's my 228i in Germany at the Hockeheimring with my wife. It was her first time on any track so I was going pretty leisurely around.

What did you use to get the lap / speed / g-force in the 2nd video?

Harry's Lap Timer app on my iPhone. I used a rubber band to attach it to my rear view mirror. Works well and was a cheap alternative to an actual mount in a pinch.
