I am a bit of a novice and not the bravest driver but I am enjoying taking my cars out to the track. Had another session at The Bend International Circuit today.
M2 competition. Stock tyres and stock pads with the blue M brakes. Managed a 2:27. |

Yes, my will. I slowed to let him pass as the cars were even for ten laps, thought I could catch him now that my brakes aren't made of cardboard. Problem was I overcooked my front PS4S (pressure too high) and put my foot in before the blind crest hoping it would stick - no. I could have had a go to keep it on black, but I didn't want to test my front splitter on the brake marker signs - I decided to go left

The C63 looked like it was lapping 5 secs + faster, which on the tracks days ive been to the F80,s are normally quicker. Was the C63 modified maybe ? |

Nah stock, and I think steel brakes- I spoke to the guy after - top bloke - and said I thought it fair to have a go from behind but I cooked it. With the Pagid pads you can really stand on it lap after lap - but I punished the 4S fronts. You can hear those Yoko tyres in your YT vid!

Thanks - it's always helpful following a quicker car around there, the lines take a while to get used to and aren't intuitive. I followed a GT4 cayman around there early on and he showed me all the tricks
At best, I'm good at copying Will be back there again in June with a bit more power. |

Nothing too exciting. Cars out of warranty, so thought I’d do a couple of little things. Downpipes, stage 2 bm3 tune (20% torque reduced) and crank hub capture for safety.

Go E85, you're lucky enough to be near some. I can only get it out of a 44gal drum, or on pump at The Bend. I'm waiting on the warranty clock, and someone to Guinea pig the Ecutek flex-fuel flash.

Yeah, I did think about it - I want to see what the car is like with this power before I swap over to e85
The flex fuel sensor things a great idea, makes it easy as to swap your fuel across. |

Soooo, had my FIRST ever track experience/day at Sandown this morning. Was with Evolve driver training.
Only did an AM session so 3x20min sessions. Unfortunately the first 2 of those were pouring with rain. So really only got one dry (99% dry) track. Stock 2018 M4 CP, Pilot Super Sports, RS29 pads. WET was 1:43.84, DRY was 1:26.99 Im pretty happy with a 1:26.99 for my first ever outing on a track. Had some pretty good coaching, I'm sure if i got another few dry sessions in i could have squeezed it down to a 1.24ish... Timing was Harrys, I will upload the video when i get a chance... Sorry about the shakey video, i have to get a better stable mount. watching it back it gave me motion sickness. Will post wet and dry lap videos. DRY LAP VERY WET LAP Last edited by dannyz_M4; 02-27-2020 at 10:04 PM.. Reason: adding vid |

Friend of mine recently bought an M3 and we were keen to head to the bend in the next few months for a day. All that's on hold for now,
If there are any gamers out there The bend have just released a digital version of their track for Assetto Corsa, I tried it out, it's not too bad. https://www.thebend.com.au/simulation |
