My best time is a 1:33, I know I forgot to turn the A/C off, could have dropped like 5 seconds haha. Car has Ferodo DS2500 brake pads, Motual 600 and spacers. Checkout my high-tech G-meter (anchor on the rear-view mirror)
Here is the link since I couldn't download it:

I just read 3.5Gs on that meter. Is it calibrated correctly? Otherwise

[Mac2924]

Haha, I just had it calibrated... you must be at 5Gs going sideways, amazing car control you have btw, it left me wanting to hit the track.

Went back to Buttonwillow for the weekend with Speed Ventures. Had my RS3s mounted this time instead of NT01s and couldn't beat my previous time with the Nt01s but was able to pretty much match it. Best time was 2:02.511. Virtual best lap is 1:59.8 according to Harry's that I used for one session only. If only I was more consistent; hopefully I'll get closer to that next time out.

Euro MDM is starting to hold me back as I'm noticing it rob power more and more so maybe I'll turn dsc off soon if I stop being a puss about it. Also, the car needs front camber desperately. The outer edge of my front left tire was very blue. Vorshlag needs to release their camber plates ASAP.

I also didn't get as much run time as I wanted this weekend because of a mud run Sunday morning that took 2.5 hours to clean but still had a great time. Here are a couple videos from the weekend, one of them including one of my two offs.

Looks good man, I can see you fighting that understeer I've got the video of me chasing you rendering, so I'll have that uploaded soon!

Thanks, this weekend was a great time. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to ACS in a few weeks. The understeer is pretty bad, I try to rotate the car by trail braking whenever I can. I mean, what can you expect from stock alignment? Lol. Really excited to see how the car drives with a proper alignment!

[redpriest]

Haha, I just noticed we both went into sweeper too hot @5:52

Haha good stuff staying on track! Luckily where I went off it was nicely packed and not muddy. Driving out of the dirt was a breeze unlike the mud lake to the left of bus stop that I had to be towed out of...

It was really entertaining watching my car from your view. Thanks for the vid!

[heckyeahbro69]

Only managed a 2:35 at sebring this weekend. Stock contis, xp10 pads. The car under steered bad off power. I want to try less rear toe next time. Timed with harrys laptimer. I'd like to see video of the guy who went 2:31 if you have it.

[heckyeahbro69]

there isn't really much less I could run though. 5 minutes is like under a tenth of a degree?

Bonkers. Adaptive M suspension? If so, remember what setting?

Speculated based upon E90 experience @ Sebring that 2:27-28 would be possible in an F80 w/ pads (or ccb). Car seems perfectly suited to the track if the dampers can deliver some compliance through turns 1 & 17.

Hahaha I watched the footage of me going off into the mud after bus stop and I could have stayed on track for sure. Since I don't get track insurance I'm very cautious about going into the mud without having the wheel and trajectory of the car straight so there's a much less chance of rolling. Also since I've been driving in the open passing group I worry that someone behind me might hit me if I make a a sudden movement to keep it on track or slow down significantly. I will post a video from my go pro of my mud run experience when I get a chance.

Mud runs are the best footage lol. See you at bimmerfest I've already signed up as well.

First open lap in two days and of course I had to overshoot at least one turn pretty bad and another I came a little out. Ran a personal best so I can't complain. At least it didn't rain again today

[Drive4Fun]

This guy just refused to give me the point by. He made up for it in T13 tho.

[Drive4Fun]

Another close call in T13. After we got around traffic after T4 I was chasing down a gt4 clubsport. He went into T13 to hot. I had already finished braking and started my turn in when I realized he wasn't going to make it.

[Drive4Fun]

Last run of the weekend. I included the warm up lap so you guys can see how the GT3 RS pulls me on the main straight. I'm pushing about 530 to the wheels. Feels like 430 behind him. Phone only recorded the first 5 laps. Around lap 7 he went in slow in T1 and kicked out in 4 and I pulled a few cars on him. I went in super hard through 13 and was carrying way to much into 14 and spun right into pit lane. Ha Good place to go off I guess. Anyway got down to a 1:52.42.
Mods now include. Dinan front sway bar set to max stiff. Dinan rear set to full soft. JRZ Sport2. I know the front compression is maxed and rear rebound is at 7. I don't recall the others. Standard spring rates. 295/30/18 R7's up front 46psi ish. 315/30/18 R7's rear 44 ish. Each session we bumped them just a hair. Front camber -3.7. Good even wear across the front. I think back camber was -2. I ended up getting 14 heat cycles out of the rear R7's before they got pretty slick. Right past the wear indicators they fell off hard. The fronts were not so lucky. Front left I got 10 til i barely corded the outside. Had a little bit more to wear indicators. Front right had 14 in it but when I came off it was corded BAD. Great weekend tho. I had a blast. Exhausting but fun
