    I've done the BMW driving school at Road America many times since 1995. Back in 2002, after just taking delivery of my new E46 M3, I attended the school again, and Indycar driver Memo Gidley was a classroom instructor, but not a track instructor (for some odd reason). So at the end of one of my classroom sessions, I asked Memo if he'd like to drive my M3 around Road America at the next track session in a few minutes and he said, "Absolutely." He then drove my M3 around Road America (with me in the passenger seat) with only one hand on the wheel the whole time, and drove the wheels off the thing. I was terrified for the first half of the first lap, but then I said to myself, "Ya know what: if you're gonna die, this is the way to go. How many people get to have an Indycar racer drive a person's own car around one of the great tracks of the world?" That thought relaxed me completely, and I was in heaven for the rest of the 35-minute session. And even though I was in the advanced group, I'd enter the braking zone of Turn 5 at 145 mph, but Memo managed to trigger the top-speed governor by coming in at 155 mph. After the session, Memo gave me some great advice on adjusting my camber settings at the rear, but said he loved the car, which kinda made my day. Also, after dropping Memo off, I drove back to my spot on the paddock, and everyone in my group was coming up to me and saying how amazing I did in that session and that I was passing everyone, etc. It was tempting to take credit, but I told everyone Memo was driving, which prompted responses like, "I

    America has tracks like this and F1 decides to go to Miami (street circuit) and Vegas ( street circuit) seems silly

    This is what we should have in F1 instead of Vegas and Miami

    What a fantastic camera perspective. This is the first time I've seen Visor Cam and it really does give you better idea of what it's like to sit in the cockpit. :) Would love to see this in F1

    This engine sounds awesome. I'm hearing harmonics in the engine sound that reminds me of the old v12 engines F1 used to race in the early 90s.
