You have to get the turn finished early so the car isn't side loaded too heavily and have the wheels straight when it lifts off. If you get it right the car will move left and come out right on the white line at the top of the hill. Shoe |

Hi everyone, just purchased a used F80 M3 and I'm hoping to do some slight tweaks to it make it faster than my Time Attack STI I previously had which ended up doing some Subaru things. Anyway, this is just my first post so my account can hopefully get opened up where I can start a new thread and pick some of your brains. TNIA!

Track Night in America 8/7 at The Ridge Motorsports Park
Slower than last time, but still fun.
Session 1 (GoPro) Session 2 (GoPro). I was stuck behind a Porsche all the time, he never gave a point by :/ . Session 3 (phone, GoPro mount broke ) |

Ridge is a fun track! Only driven Miata there so far but next year I am thinking about taking my M4 there. I just hate poor lodging options there (hate Shelton 8 for bleach smell in beds) that had keep me away from there. (Same for ORP. tall winds motel is a horror)

There's a guy in a Miata (there were other Miata's too) that did a sub 2 minute at the end of the day, that's pretty fast IMO. |

Sub 2 minute is pretty fast for a Miata if that is not power-modded (turbo or engine swap). I've done 3 days with HOD there and I did 2:05.4 with Dunlop ZII star spec tires. With RE-71r and more learning I could get real close to 2 min but not sure about sub 2 minutes. On the other hands I believe our F8x can do sub 1:50 probably with just good tires and surely with MCS and good tires- you can do it sir! |

Haha that's right. They don't usually easily give out point by until they get stressed and figure out they are a lot slower than the car behind.

Car: 2016 M4 6MT base
Track: Portland International Raceway Lap time: 1:25.41 Nitto NT-01 275/305 tires GC camber plates & Eibach springs DS1.11 brake pads All else stock https://vimeo.com/354126996 Update on my lap time, down by few tenths. This was done in the morning while I was still not up to speed at several places. I call it '10 AM magic.' Improved both lines and driving throughout the day and was able to consistently reproduce 1:25.6-8 even in afternoon, which means I will be able to do 1:24s in next 10 AM magic. Virtual best is 1:24.77. But things are getting expensive. The brand new DS1.11 was at 3-4mm after 4.5 sessions. An E92 friend had similar issue and he said getting MCS solved that issue. That's another $5k upgrade! Last edited by MyFragileHalogen; 10-14-2019 at 05:06 PM.. |

That's pretty aggressive wear, that track doesn't look too brutal on brakes either? I'm guessing that the stock rotors two piece-ish design is still compromised with out having an aluminum hat? Have you taken any temperature measurements to see how hot the fronts are getting? Is that wear rate even front to rear?

Yeah recalling my previous set of pads it lasted ~3 track days, though I am driving faster every time. One factor would be that I ran my pads till backing plates at last track day and they were machined at 0.1-0.2mm below minimum. Would it be the reason for that? I have a new set of oem rotors ($500) that I can put on and see how it differs; but I am thinking whether I should return them and get a slotted rotor like stoptech (but... at $1200). Edited: question is whether below would apply to track driving as well "1. A ROTOR’S MINIMUM THICKNESS SPECIFICATIONS ARE BASED ON HEAT False: The discard or minimum thickness specification is based on the travel of the caliper piston if the pads are worn to the backing plates. If you had worn pads and a rotor that’s below specification, there is a possibility the piston could start leaking and become dislodged from the bore, causing a failure of the brake system. Heat, warping and fading have nothing to do with discard specifications. " https://www.brakeandfrontend.com/bra...rs-pads-myths/ Edited2: I think mostly likely it's due to the rotors. Thanks for confirming that something isn't right. Last edited by MyFragileHalogen; 08-16-2019 at 01:39 PM.. |

Remember your rotor is a heatsink and the less material there is the less of a sink it will be. Definitely look into trying to make the two piece stuff happen, made a night and day difference on my STI, went from overheating the system in one session to surviving an entire weekend worry free! Glad I'm getting into the F8X game where some competition is heating up on this front.

Did the west coast give up? Where are all the Laguna/Sonoma/Buttonwillow times? It's been forever since anyone shared from those tracks.
