Wow that's really fast... I hear that 1CW is about 4-5 sec slower than 13CW so very impressive. Very interested to see what the car will run on the 13CW configuration

At the track changing brake pads and pulling dust shield, it was easier to just remove the parking brake along with the rear dust shields
So after all the brake work on Friday night in the paddock at Buttonwillow, we felt like we were ready for a great weekend

Enough of the still photos. Let's get to what this car is supposed to be about - on the track. Want to let you guys know that aside from the fact that we didn't front brake cooling, the cooling capacity for the rest of the car is awesome. Looks like BMW designed this car thinking somebody may actually take one on the track. In the heat of Buttonwillow in June, the car never went into limp or 'dial it back' mode. Here it is on the front straight at over 100 mph.

We were just there to shake down the car and not mess up anybody's points. We made sure to not finish ahead of the #64 car when it counted.

We also had a 2nd driver already driving in HPDE 3/4, so Ralph ran with the TT group.
So, believe it or not, we've done the easy part. Now to turn it into a real race car. I already have the removal of the front and rear glass scheduled.

Depends on what class we try to keep the car if running on R-comp tires. If we stay on OEM calipers and no aero, we can be in G-Sport and we're thinking of trying to get through the remainder of this year like that and then moving the car up to G-Prepard (caliper upgrades and aero) for next season during the winter.
