Official F8X Road Course Laptimes

[Driver407]

Broke the infamous sub 2 minute out at Thunderhill East yesterday. Havent been out in the F80 as much lately. Was refreshing to swap from E46 back to F80. Transfer some acquired driver mod back to the fast car.

I'm at 1:51 at 7-8/10ths with a student showing how smooth I can be and coaching. Maybe I need to kick that student out and...push more!? People with track prepped and R compounds are in the low 40's. Not to say it's not impossible, maybe I can learn something I was doing wrong as is always the case.

- start at 7:14. This is on 200tw Good Year Supercar 3

Hi, quick question, which Tractive do you have, and what are your impressions? I’ve been thinking of swapping my MCS for these, to gain some extra convenience in the street/track compromise.

You must have near 600rwhp. My slow corners are ~4-5mph slower but top speeds are ~18-22 mph slower. I'm on MPS4S.

I am running the road and track plug and play. Love them, my buddy has a set on his C7 corvette too.

Low to mid 500s. Still
Need to get it on a dyno.

I put down a 1:40 today.

I noticed you slowed less and went wider at the kink (9?), that is what I do. I need to ride with you and then try your tires once. I bet a race seat and 4/5pt harness is worth about 2s. I know in my track car it was way easier to drive with that setup.

Biggest time improvements for me were
Nitron suspension
6 point Harness and race seats
Seat time

I still have time left at the kink. I’m at 141 before hitting the brakes. I should be able to hit it at 120-125 when I’m comfortable taking it at that speed.

Last event of the season for me...

NJMP Lightning - 1:12.1
MCS 2WNR, stock power/aero, RE-71RS, 034 2-pc rotors, PFC11

Great way to end the season with a new PB, almost had :11's. Car is feeling really good with the MCS, I think I have it dialed in fairly well. Good feeling after the shenanigans last year at the Glen.

Looking forward to attacking Thunderbolt next season! And maybe getting back to the Glen, and/or return to VIR.

Thanks Hugo... it's a Purple Panda, clipped/taped to the license plate

[4Y_stack_acceleration]

NJMP Lightning - 1:15.67

F82 non-ZCP with stock wheels 255/275 MPS4S, camber plates, stock dampers/springs

[Driver407]

Put down a pretty quick lap at sonoma today. 1:51.81.

[hyboost]

M4 GTS, almost stock:
Girodisc steel conversion, Ferodo DS1.11
Nankang AR1
RKP GT4 wing risers

Ran a 2:24 at Sebring on our first full day with it a couple weeks ago, plenty left in it as I was just trying to get a feel for the new car. Was fighting brake cooling throughout the day so was backing off in T7, T10, T17. Once the cooling issue is resolved with Hoosiers on it, I see a 2:20 in the near future. Not bad for a full interior stock power car!

STREETS OF WILLOW CCW
1:24.498
2018 M3
NITRON RTR R1
FALKEN RT660
PARAGON R5 FRONT BRAKE PADS

Second track day for me loving it so far...lots of room for improvement. Can't wait to get back out there.

EDIT:

Completed my third track day this year second time at streets CCW barley got into the 1.22.97 LOL. These RT660s really seem to overheat by the 5th-6th lap for me and the car gets very loose.
Only updates on the car:
Paragon Slotted front rotors and R3 rear brake pads
CSF DCT Cooler

Hey Shadow and GasBurnlife(landapanda) would you two have a video of these runs? Am trying to compare it to (new to me) G87. Recently took it to Summit Main. Video for reference.

Glad to see you back in a BMW!

Great lap. The cooler temp certainly must have helped. What tire/wheel setup are you using?

275/305 NT01 on 3rd day (also corded fronts at end of that day)
18"/10"/25et - 18"/11"/44et Apex EC7

Have since moved over to Conti ECF. Feel like they are the exact same pace but last way longer. Not sure ill run NT01 again. Ran 5-6 sets in the past. Always destroyed the inners too quick up front. Need to sell my setup and get 10.5 square.

I felt that Conti ECF had somewhat similar front end grip, but it was much more loose in the rear. I also destroy the front NT01 before the rears where the inner side cords (about 4 track days).

I just moved to a 10.5 square TA5R setup. I ran Laguna yesterday on a NT01 275 square setup. The braking and front end grip is much better compared to my previous 18/9.5/22et EC7. However, the 275 in the rear was a bit less happy, and something wider would be better.
