In Search of Perfect Traction! M2 Returns to Gingerman! 670 WHP BMW G87 Time Attack Gridlife Rev Up

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Gingerman is the Midwest's Buttonwillow. It's not as famous as other tracks around it, i.e. Road America or Mid-Ohio, yet people REALLY care about it. As much as we like to be different, this one matters to us, too. A year after our stock-ish M2 ran a time of 1:36.8, we're about to find out what the new-and-improved M2 TA can do around this place. Let's go.

    yeahhhh sorry for not passing the RX8 earlier in session 1. No hand out the window or anything, couldnt tell if he was just gapping badly or not and I didnt want him to come barreling through into T11 or T1 on the flyer. Honking the horn definitely helped haha.

    It sure does! This is only version 1 of our aero kit. The whole point is you can buy this kit from us or Verus and have a good amount of downforce without sacrificing too much for the street. Next version will be significantly more aggressive!

    Do you think the performance is better than on the Supra? Which one do you like/have more fun driving? Not that I’m racing on your level but I’m looking to upgrade my track car from my 2011 BMW and I would love to get either the M2 or Supra but can’t decide.

  • @JackieDing86

    @JackieDing86

    Ай бұрын

    Stock to stock I think M2 is superior. Supra feels more like a sports car to drive but M2 has a slightly higher limit on track and feels more tuned for track use from factory. Honestly you can’t go wrong with either!

    The BMW just needs good traction control like it had before being tuned, the M-TC was awesome. Not too restrictive while helping with traction.

    @JackieDing86

    Ай бұрын

    The trade off really depends on the track. Autocross and low speed tracks with a lot of traction zones, sure it would be beneficial. But at higher speed tracks like Road Atlanta, Road America etc, I would prefer to have less weight I think!
