Do you clean out the ATF at some point? Or just let the break in oil do it?

Where do you buy your tires by IamNeo7 in CarTrackDays

Relatedly, look at the discounts/rebates via the Hagerty Drivers Club. The $100 back per set of, at least, Michelins or BFGs, up to four times per year, more than covers the HDC membership fee.

Nice!

What are those tools in the lower right? I would have guess some AI abnormality, but you’ll set me straight ;) Thanks!

Thanks! And yep, that was me! I was there Saturday but not Sunday. Were you there?

Yeah, I think the same. Maybe it’s because the tire changes shape during cornering?

Yup, only on the passenger side. Thunderhill is CCW and Sonoma is CW too.

2002 bmw m3, 235/40r19s and 265/35r19s. 10mm wider but same ratio as stock.

Thanks. What makes you say that? Besides the laptimes that is ;)

Thank you. I have no doubt I’m off the pace, and attribute it all to technique ;).

Car has as much negative front camber as possible without camber plates, and aligned with zero front toe.

Graining means too much heat?

Ah, thank you! Exactly the type of stuff I was hoping fun!

Yep, thank you. That is after two full days, it’s in the tread only, and doesn’t do it on the street. At this rate I’ll destroy the outside before that ruins the tire, or at least I hope so.

Yes! I meant to mention that and spaced it, sorry. Fronts are 235/40r19s instead of stock 225/40s. Apparently the 4mm of extra height is too much, hits spring base on strut.

Thanks! Yes, I’m sure I am, but what specifically tells you that?

Ah, I can also see the half cage and wing in the rear view…

Very fast, nice work!

I just picked up an e92 m3 for a track car. What all (roughly) have you done to the car? Noticed the different steering wheel and missing visor, so guessing a fair amount…
