1999 BMW E36 M3 with S54 (328 whp SAE5) at 2515 lbs with fuel and driver. No aero, narrow body and 245/40/17 Hoosier A7 (1st event). Didn’t hit the 15.9 target I was aiming for but still managed to squeak in my first B1 class record. I know there is a 15 in the car but it’s going to require a better performance out of me and most likely a decrease in ambient temperatures. Lacked confidence in turn 1 since the rear end just didn’t want to stick, so lost a couple tenths there. Other than that, I think it’s a pretty decent lap.
On another note, the radiator ducting I built in conjunction with Elian Motorsport hood vents made a dramatic improvement in water and oil temps despite it being well in the 90’s. Will most likely need to close off the grills to keep temps high enough in the winter which will provide some aero efficiencies.
