When The Track Toy Tries To Be Pretty - M4 GTS

[ClubsportJunkie]

This week marks my last week in Austin, and because I'm trying to avoid packing, I thought I'd share a few details and photos of my build.

I'm planning on driving the GTS from the south to the northeast, hitting up tail of the dragon along the way, so if anyone has recommended stops, please let me know.

Currently 25,000 miles and looking forward to many more road and track miles at Monticello, Lime Rock, NJMP, and Walkins Glenn

Photos consist of some of my Austin lasts: Last COTA PB, photo shoot, track day/night, and meetup (rallied 40+ cars to show up ).

Shout out to all my amazing friends that I met in Austin. This is truly an amazing city. Keep Austin Weird!

Likewise! I'll miss romping out there with you. I really can't wait for this drive, but have a feeling a lot of it will be boring.

It was fun enough to have Lienrocs and another GTS from a rental company out here! VIR seems like a hike though! Gonna have to wrap my head around that trip, plus with this drive coming up I think my limit will be 3 hours till next season Definitely a bucket list track, and wow are the esses something else on my buddy's sim. Can only imagine what it's like in real life.

I think I might pausing on track events till next year, especially since I won't have harnesses installed (waiting for Recaro's new Profi SPG seat after their recall till Jan). I will be going to plenty of meet ups and C&C till the winter time though. I think I found an M event in October with Machines with Souls.
