Are you talking about the M4 GTS? It's 7 seconds slower at 7:37

Very impressive! I also wonder if the driver left the car in auto mode, but I would assume so based upon Randy's comments and my own experience.

Forgive me if I'm a newbie but how can M4C be faster in a lap than M8C?
OK it's slightly heavier, but it is more powerful by 115cv, has better 0-100, better top speed. Just asking.

Better tire for the most part.

There also must be a reason that the coming special versions such as CSL and CS models will be RWD versions and not AWD. AWD is super in the real world but not necessarily on a track. |

I thought all cars were compared with same tyre and same weather conditions, for an "official" ranking.
IMHO any further comparison is quite useless then.

A qualified guess it’s the main reason BMW now offer PSC2 as an M3/4 factory tire option…it qualify the PSC2 for use at these tests. I guess the M8 is not seen as a track day car and ring times aren’t a major marketing tool for the M8 segment and they re probably right, more of a GT than track day car.

Oh man those downshifts. They are slow. You can hear the downshifts when the car is already into the corner thats far to late.
As a daily car this gearbox is ok but for track driving it is a piece of junk. |

I'm not saying it won't add absolutely any benefit. It might, but when the AWD with solid tire already puts the power down well, a sticker tire makes less of a difference than on a RWD platform.

Odd that size, weight, ZF8, single-piston sliding caliper rear brakes, etc are still talking points when the actual realized performance is as great as it is. Of course, reviewers and owners have already told you for months that these things don't matter. |
