That looked like great fun, you really had some great acceleration out of the corners, good driving. Looked like you pushed it more the second lap and did very well.

nice run. but how come the WRX cant take wide turns that well? Mebbe the tuning needs to be changed a bit. The small quick turns it's good. Any videos of the e60 inside cabin?

It was a blast

It was the first time I had driven the car on track and it was damp so I was taking it easy I had to pull off as the fuel was getting low.

I filled her up and got faster and faster when it dried up

That clip had me laughing my ass off, your 535D tanked the scooby . I am surprised the scooby didnt do better though.
