Well done great effort.when I was doing some AT there I was struggling to get up one of the peaks with my bad legs at the time...then a SF selectee ran past with full kit and a rifle ...and came back down before I got to half way 😂 them dudes are crazy.
The F80 platform truly has to be one of the best track platforms of any car made to date, the power looks so smooth, the way they handle even as a rwd and the fact that they can just take an absolute beating, which anyone outside of Europe knows they can take that to the absolute bank when it comes to European cars; a European engine and drivetrain that is insanely solid is worthy of praise, BMW engineers take a bow.
Smooth operator as usual. Very nice spec M4 as well. Very well modified and sounded great. Very different to the usual sounding cars. Was closer to the E46 sound.
You can see that the one thing that hurts that car is it's weight, easy to drive and stable just that bit benign to stopping and direction changes. Same as mine🙂 Trouble is they need 500 lbs off the curb as a minimum, no idea how to get there.
By far my favourite "common" sports car, the G series doesn't look that much worse, but it sure as heck does look heavier. F series look so light and agile and this one being silver wheels on red paint with a manual on top of it is my dream car dream spec 100%.

What's with the long threads sticking out on the wheels ? Should switch to metric, we can measure things more accurately and they can be shorter. Less drag when there aren't 20 extra bolts sticking out and spinning in the air flow.
At the 8:00 mark, I think it's Wehrseifen, why do you take the corner closer to the left wall? Since it's a left turn followed by right, wouldn't you achieve a higher exit speed by staying right? Or would you lose too much entry speed?

Besides shipping and customs, I could imagine insurance and some road legislation/homologation is needed? Or is it that straightforward to put a car on foreign license plates on the road (here and over the pond) ?
So you can just ship your car temporarily to another country. All you need to do is pay for the shipment and that's it basically. You do need to get car insurance which isn't too expensive. The shippers need to see a title for the car and or if it is bank owned then a notarized letter from the bank saying you can ship the car and a certified copy of your title. Like he said it cost him $3500 to ship and two months, is on point for that distance. I am shipping my 2016 Dodge Viper from Texas to London, then driving 4000 miles(11 countries) in which will be stopping at the Nürburgring to go around it a few times. So I have found all of this information and will document the whole thing. Oddly enough it isn't super available to the public on what all you have to do. I track my car so this will add another track to the list of tracks my car has gone on. If I could get Misha to do a lap in my car that would be a plus but I am not going over there until June of next year.
0:30 i honestly would rather buy a used track car instead of bringing my own. i mean cheap ones can be bought for 5 to 10k .. something like a gutted Honda Civic or BMW 3 series.
I had no idea France had it. I thought only the US and Brazil had access to it. I wish it was everywhere in the US. I moved and lost access to it. I used to drive 30 miles to fill up my car and jugs.
Some modern cars will automatically do it for you. They can sense your downshift somehow and bring the revs up to the exact speed for a perfect downshift.
