Is it me or is the biggest revelation of this trip is how you’ve been mega fast despite you doing the steering and a passenger doing the pedals! Unbelievable talents, both of you!!!
Oh babyyy this is the one I've been waiting for, for weeks I've anticipated the absolute shredding of this car on this track... as always Dan what a performance my guy 👌
First off Dan ... Your car IS hooked-up!! It looks really well balanced! And that was some sketchy navigating around cars in the Adenau. Great driving tho!
Hey Danny.👋 Now, that's how you drive fasssst! You definitely weren't playing around on those 2 laps and you had my heart rate up just watching. Your mekanik has the Estoril Blue M3 dialed in.👌The big lass is a real performer worthy of the big screen. It must be a good feeling to unleash the beast and conquer such a formidable track. As always, thanks for the ride-along. Take care, dude.
People are sleeping on the S54, just because it has a reputation of bad rod bearings(the stock rods are too heavy for 8k RPM) new lighter rods, ported exhaust ports(there cast and don't flow right) You can keep the stock pistons, VANOS is perfect, oil pump is great, E85, S54's are beast, can keep up with turbo 450hp+ cars, top end is addictive, even with a stock head it will revv to 8.5 k happily, valve springs can handle it.
nah is normal and polite try it 10 times a day you will do the same in 3 month ^^ that technic is for mantain RPM but it must coupled with "no braking" technic ^^ is more a dance, it used in rally because you basically dance on corners ^^ for more braking force you dont use it, you will instead use the downfall of RPM for engine brake on professional level is not used because it will kill the clutch that is machined so hard for less weight but in street it will deliver a more compact brake zone = more speed before entry (of course more money for brake and tires changes LoL) my first change on my z4 was: 1000km for tyres and 500km for brakes (ferodo standard brand) ihihihih
You may be a good driver but not everyone you pass will be and at that speed, taking those kinds of risks you could end up injuring or killing someone out there.
Fuck me pal that was intense. Talk about captain insane speeds on a damp track. What were the lap times ? Overtaking someone on one of the fastest parts of the ring with 2 wheels on the grass!! Did you have to uprate the suspension to take account of the massive steel balls you are clanging around with. You should consider taking up racing proper... I've done the ring once and in a hire car and vowed never again, it was a TF day though and it was just insane. Top skills, top content 👌 Looking forward to what you have lined up for next year. Wishing you a great Christmas, more paetreons and hoping you can take this up full time as its compelling viewing. I was shitting myself just watching that, its a tricky track in the dry. Top job 👏
I love how in control you appear with the car, is not like the mr2 where you seem to be wrestling with it on the limit. Your downshifts are a joy to hear, if only I could do this. Love it !
@rubber rocket well considering most people start out in life with a fwd car (well we do in UK) and that truly mastering rwd requires some additional skills over fwd, and that a considerable slug if additional power adds a level of challenge, and finally that the M3 is a high revving (8.3k) NA engine attached to a keen chassis and mine specifically is a "proper manual", I think the evidence backs up my statement. I imagine you've not driven one.
@rubber rocket 1. I never un-discovered Honda 2. An E36 non-M is a very different thing to an E90 M3. No offense intended. I know because I've owned both. Interesting fact for you, from a senior BMW engineer: the E90 M3 shares less than 20% of its parts with a regular 3 series. It is a different car. Don't judge until you've tried one. Type R Hondas of the 1990s and 2000s are amazing vehicles. The dc2 was hands down the best fwd car I've ever driven.
Hiii! My partner is a massive fan of yourself! ( Paul ) He’s watching as we speak! He proposed to me in Spain on the beach, I’m surprised he hasn’t asked you.😂 And the cherry on the cake would be so amazing if you could give him a shout out! My names Sophie the not so lucky one. 😀😀😀
...passenger pedals,why? so you not sure on this car or not sure on you... you touched the edge marked,few times but this car it's fantastic. just try to do alone,to drive alone but the car to be occupied all sets,it's better for curves and stability... good luck...
I hate everyone who drives with their highbeams on all the time. I can understand that with traffic you want to be seen, but its obnoxious and annoying.
I love these angles with that amazing driving. It’s weird seeing left hand shifts bringing 5th closer towards you vs here that 5th is the furthest away. So cool. I think 5th is my worst gear I’d definitely like to try left
I usually do fifth by pushing the palm of my hand with the thumb downwards against the stick so when I start pushing it goes all the way to the right and when I push forward i only then actually grab the stick with my fingers as I start pushing, it goes into fifth fairly smooth this way for me. Of course depends on your gearbox and preference but hey, just try gunning it where its safe for you to do so and quickly shifting up and see what feels natural. I ended up landing on this technique because I would always try to push it all the way to the side too late and get third or nothing at all.
If anybody here wants to buy an e46 M3 then just reply to this comment. Must be from U.K. and just some basic bits on it 2004 facelift 117k miles SMG Extensive BMW service history ACL bearings done £12 000 If you’re interested I’ll go into more detail.
6:02 Out of curiosity, what benefit does he gain from 2 single downshifts as opposed to just blipping the throttle harder and downshifting 2 gears at once?
