NJMP with my manual transmission M3

First time for me with this car at this track. I’ve been going to this track for the last four years.
Stock car except lowering springs and Michelin PSS tires.

Compared to my previous car (modified Volvo S60R) - night and day!

I ran 1:43 in the dry and 1:45 in somewhat wet. That’s with the chicane, which slows you down significantly.

Tire wear is spot on. I started with 27 psi all around and let it build up to 37.
Pads are Ferodo 2500. They showed little wear after two days of pounding.
I used ConTact film to protect the front for two days. Worked like a charm and peeled off without any issues. $25 for 60 feet - beats TrakkTape!!!

I really love this car...

That's right! I believe I even chatted with you for a bit. That exhaust sounded really nice

I also saw you there. I had the silverstone M3 that was parked outside near my buddy's Black M4 that was in the garage near you. How did you mount your camera?

Ahh awesome! I wish we all chatted - would have been nice to meet like minded enthusiasts.

I mounted the camera down from my sunroof - yes I've got a sunroof in my M
