It's October and track temp was 87 degrees and partly cloudy. E36 M3 is now at 190k miles, ICS coilover suspension, and ESM wheels with 245/40ZR17 Continental ExtremeContact DWS with 540 treadwear rating. Hardly a track tire setup, but it's been putting up with quite the amount of abuse. I get about 8 laps in before I get the tires too hott and they start feeling greasy. You can also see I am in need of thicker sway bars. Best time was 1:38:41; which is not my best but next time I'll hit it earlier.
And then I exit a turn way to hot and go off track into some dirt. Oh well, did no damage.
Me and the Porsche we're on the track, but on opposite ends so no direct competition.
Hey I miss all the fun, you f*cking Porsche's turn around.
Notice the driver front tire.
