BUT you are all forgetting the important question, is it faster than CSL, or will it be at Spa as this car has a purpose

Good to find this out after it fucks the engine up

Lots of traffic Steve.

Was much much faster towards end of play with Phil in, but still miles off the pace.

First time in m3 since crashing the CSL so was a little bit weary, but towards the end of the day confidence was growing. Just need to improve myself now, lots of seat time needed.

Performance box will be at the ready for Spa.

Has she had the bigger 320i inlet manifold job for extra Pep

Yep already taking punishment

I think it's the 2.5 that has the bigger inlet that they put onto the restricted 2.8 to gain power.

Think that was me you were following, I remember watching in the mirrors you flying round the corners then me getting held up and watching you in the mirrors for around two laps.

A little twitch before deers leap there Barry apart from that it didn't move an inch

You will do some good times with no traffic!! Make sure you get free track in quali and don't get tied up in traffic

I've no power on the straights, you lift at all coming up to traffic and it's all over

I'm hoping to get dragged along by faster cars to up pace too.

You need to get in the holding area right behind a front runner then

It's all irrelevant if Shimmy struggles with the changeover, it looks quite a tight squeeze for a big lad ...
