Three things I have learned watching my friend Sam Smith wrangle this beast 1. The BMW straight six produces God's own music as heard through the Devils' headphones 2. Sam is a helluva driver, full opposite lock in an expensive old race car owned by BMW is no joke 3. Porsche 911's are fast
Now I know why it slides so much in assetto corsa.... and the rear tires were like 15 inches wide. These things are like the loudest car on track as heard from the side/rear , but sounds like a deaf wookie with a megaphone from the front.
No offense Sam, but I'd love to have seen Sam Posey driving. As you know, he too drove the 'Batmobile' for BMW. I attended the 1975 Six Hours of Riverside IMSA event where Han Stuck and Dieter Quest placed 1st/2nd with the Bimmers. Later, read an article where Sam Posey said he could NOT get his head around how deep, late into turn 6 and 7 Stuck would leave his braking or the speed he carried thru the turns. Stuck attributed this to the new 1st generation Bosch anti lock brake system, said he delayed braking until the very last moment, sat on the brake pedal as hard as he could triggering the anti lock system allowing him to drive down into the apex while still on the brakes. A shame you were given a car with worn tires and faulty brakes. Surprised BMW N/A would do that?? LOVED the video, especially coming down the Corkscrew. Looks like 2-3 turns lock to lock counter steering!! Whee, what fun!!!
Sam Smith is a god damn hero. If his literary skills weren’t enough, the man is one hell of a charming bastard on the camera, and then of course he puts out a video like this that shows how he can saw a wheel. I’d love to see a R&T series where Sam is fully funded to chase the racing series championship of his choice. That would be an epic adventure.

#2!
That thing seems like a handful to drive!!!!
This man drove this thing like he was being chased by the cops, loved every second of it
Good work, Sam. The way that car gets squirrelly makes me a little scared inside. I'm amazed this has gotten so few views and 1% bothered to like it.
Simply Amazing!!!
IT SOUNDS SO MAD
Nice, driven like it’s supposed to.
Like an WWII plane sound 😱😱😱😱.
