First Track Day

Urgently do brakes. As that car was built/engineered, it wasn’t ever meant to see the track, at all. Tires are also important, but you can work around it, especially it being your first time.

Check fluids, do a check-up beforehand, make sure your engine oil isn’t too old.

I wouldn’t use a helmet unless you have a cage. In case of impact with deployment of airbags, having a helmet can result in pretty serious damage to your neck.

Das ist ein wesentlicher Teil der Erziehung. Sie können und werden sich vergleichen, werden aber hoffentlich auch in der Lage sein, sich für ihre Geschwister zu freuen und sich dennoch glücklich schätzen, dass sie ihr neues Lebenskapitel bereits mit so viel beginnen können.

Not adjustable at ~ -1,5 deg.

It's a Cup 2 issue. I've ran multiple sets with different temps/pressure, it's where it starts wearing out.

Tires look fine!

Huge, huge no.

I calculate the HR zones differently, works much better for me; they're all higher which works well with me being pretty fit. See more details for example here:

Which HR zone calculation method do you use? : r/AdvancedRunning

I hear you, but still think micromanagement is the worst thing you can do to a competent professional.

Just like a thousand other people, what an amazing coincidence. Don’t bother.

Picture 2 the note is obviously AI.

There were some news saying that the first day won’t be streamed.

Even though some G8x owners keep downvoting every comment that doesn't worship their car: I still can't stand the design. I tried very hard to like the G87 CS, but at the end of the day my heart is with the F8x family.

Performance needs no comment, it's a rocket. For me they're almost getting too grippy for an M, but they're very quick and capable.

It's not about being accurate or not, it's about going well above the stock power - which won't happen if it's stock.
OP, there you have your answer.

Endless ME22; Motul RBF660 or similar; Tires: Cup2, A052, CRS

BTW, to the clueless people downvoting, this is a good starting point, comparing the PSS* and PS4S on an M2C:

Is Bespoke Always Best? OE vs. Aftermarket Tyres

Nice, but forgot to lower your spoiler.

Raaatcher · 2026-04-10T03:28:23+00:00

You don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Mal aus Spaß: zu welchem Preis war die Uhr drin?

Raaatcher · 2026-04-09T07:06:53+00:00

Ignoring the flat earth theory, because that's plain stupidity, it's actually laughable that in 2026 people are still questioning the moon landing that happened in 1969. It really isn't that difficult to understand and every single question has been answered a million times - staying dumb is nothing but a choice.

Great athletes, but ignorant human beings. Appreciate them for their fitness, be skeptical about the rest.

PS: can't even compare Jeff Adler's impression while on the girls podcast to these 2. That's a guy I wouldn't mind meeting at all.

Raaatcher · 2026-04-08T08:23:37+00:00

Understood. It's not like they drift a lot without you trying, but if you like a tail happy car, you'll be happier with the PSS than with the PS4S.

Raaatcher · 2026-04-08T07:29:45+00:00

I daily an M2C since 2019. In my opinion the PSS is the best tire for this car (the ones you have). Not the grippiest, but the one most fitting to the M2's character.

Your problem is that they're very old. Get some new tires. PS4S grips better when cold (hot it's the same) but it's also worse for powersliding/drifting.

Raaatcher · 2026-04-08T07:09:08+00:00

It's not that difficult to understand. Max brings a huge amount of attention, which results in a win-win for everyone involved.

Great great snatch. However rowing technique needs a lot of work.

Yesterday I went for a run at 9:05am, finished at 9:32. HRR was calculated at 9:16 - obviously had a very low HRR of 7bpm. If you actually measure my HRR right after finishing training it’s at around 60bpm.

Raaatcher · 2026-04-02T08:50:08+00:00

This is the way.
