E92 m3 @ Spa

[shane@mbtech]

The intro to this says its not standard either.

Is he doing it justice? Or is a CSL just that much quicker?

Discuss

Sy did low 2.50's on standard CSL shocks, the 888's are shit, but its still very slow and he is a racing driver?

I know the 888's are not too good, but that is a really slow time??

Thats my aim to smash that time if I take on project E92 M3. Mine was not too slow at croft and certainly held its own against duncs CSL. I have a suspiscion that the driver wasnt really doing it justice.

My thoughts are as follows:

1. His laps seem pretty committed, light on the brakes and carrying speed mainly, so time should be good.

2. The screen times do not match the YT clip times. The actual runnin time of the laps are 2:55 and 2:56 respectively.

3. I have seen a few e92 out there and none but the Schirmer black one have come close but I'd guess the ever age e92 time was very close to the CSL time around Spa (bhp prob making up for kg/handling)

My thoughts more generally are when I think to go e92 always then think I'd be disappointed. Even gts looks that way to me! Sort of wish csl wasn't the car it is then I could move on and forwards...

Just abut steady I think. 2.52 was my first go round Spa this year, I think even with standard set up sub 2.50 is realistic

Just noticed that discrepancy between the times. Do you just think its an upload issue?

Which do you think is the right time then?

@Sy, what are you doing with an E92? or you just jesting.

I was staking the piss out of this video last year (see the comments) but actually looking at the footage he isn't pedalling too bad. Hard to say how fast with out gps speeds but I think those laps are more like 2m55 than 3m05. R888 will be fine as he is out of the pits (but I doubt he is on cold tyres).

I think the Schirmer ad I saw was probably capable of 2m45 or less, but that is proper trAckday set up.
