E46 M3 track slag turned around in a day

So since last couple of track days, steering and braking was all over the place. With new wishbones and discs and pads car was so nicely balanced today at Snetterton.

Before today I decided to buy one of these

I've been using my iPhone on and off and go pro and I never seem to record the right bits.

Sorted out some decent camber again.

Before today I wanted to work on a couple of places at snettetton to maintain speed, first was riches and the other was at coram. I thought that of I can just dab the brakes into riches and turn in hard like karting i can maintain a high apex speed.

I never seem to have perfect conditions, was losing the front end at riches all the time.
Outside temp was 15• and just could get heat into the slicks.

I ran wide into the grass a couple of times at near 100mph.

Also from the bridge to the back straight as little brake as possible and virtual flat out through bomb hole and coram. Coram was 100+ in 5th gear for me.

I got to follow John round today, his driving is now bang on the money, was able to keep me honest. All the seat time has paid off. Also what's cool is that these are both road legal and normal looking cars.

I smashed the 2.09 barrier loads, lapping 2.10-2.13 in traffic, and 2.15 -2.16 in heavy traffic.

I reckon on a day with sunshine a 2.06 is do able, I had it flashing up but never had a clear run, very few clear laps.

First session of the day and hit it.
