Track day onboard G82

Finally got a track day on my new G82. Car handles like a dream. Balance was spot on. I've tracked the G80 M3 comp and the rear is all over the place compared to the M4. Car was all stock for the day on the pilot sport 4s it came with. Lapping about 2 seconds faster than the R8 V10 my buddy brought (both with me driving) lots of understeer, same tire.

Those poor tires, screaming in every turn. 6 mt looks like its fun.

I agree, the 4s was decent before my track set arrived, but I can easily pull better lap times with cup2s and keep them silent with more to go before the limit. The shoulders of the 4s took a beating in just 3 hours on track.

Awesome! What camera setup did you use?

Doing my first ever track day next week in the G80 6mt.
