E46 M3 track slag turned around in a day

[billyboysm3]

Adem, don't beat yourself up.

You drive really well, after we sorted tyre pressures the Csl gripped, the conditions didn't help.

Also I have been a stupid amount of times and had tuition. Also had tuition first thing that morning. Making sure I'm at full power coming out of bends to the straights.

It's your first full day there. You set the M3 up, geo, corner weight, ride height etc so massive thanks to you as she had a stupid amount of grip left that my talent could not handle.

Yes I did pass but only because i knew how to get the best from that corner. Shame i didn't have a go pro in the rear as you did well following me for the next couple of laps.

I'll help get you there, it's just seat time, tuition, seat time, tuition and fun.

Shimmy wasn't born quick, he has had to work for it.

When I first went to snetterton with shimmy and the boys I was like a rabbit in headlights.

Roll on 2nd nov at snetterton and we're learn those lines.

You've set the m3 and your Csl up an absolute dream, be proud, your awesome at what you do. Have fun and the times will drop.

Billy your apprentice technician and t boy.

Does anyone here actually rate Snetterton? I really disliked it when I went in the Noble. When you're on the track it just seems to be
straight,
90° constant radius,
straight,
180° constant radius,

It just wasn't very interesting :S

Too true, im pretty average but have worked hard at the CSL. I get in another car and I go back to being a billy and have to learn again. Sometimes i get in the CSL and im on the pace, sometimes it takes me all day to get to 90% of where i was last time out.

As ONeill says we are all billys and if we were good we would know it. 83SY is good. Im just trying extra hard.

Tuition doesnt always work, doesnt always work straight away and sometimes it can just make sense and take you up a level in understanding.

It lacks a couple of good mid speed corners and i think is an average track for the UK. Racers like it as it has a bit of everything and you can overtake. Best part is the Esses through to the back of Coram which is very technical i think and in think you may have missed out on your synopsis above

[CSLManual]

Perhaps... that was the bit where the Noble made a really awful noise. Maybe it's worth another look. I like variety and it felt a bit samey to me. Funnily enough didn't think it was bad at all when I was there on the bike, probably due to the exact reasons I didn't like it in a car!

Shimmy don't you have the fastest laptime round Spa or am I thinking of 83SY?

[billyboysm3]

I think you might of done the 200 circuit which is effectively a rectangle.

Shimmy is SPA king.

Would love to do spa next year, probably in a BMW courtesy car.

[CSLManual]

No it was the 300 both times. I came away thinking the Noble was crap on track but had an absolute hoot on the Silverstone GP earlier this year.

Unfortunately I had too much of a hoot on the way back to the hotel at the ring a couple of weeks later and now I need a new gearbox

This is why I'm suddenly considering a couple of CSL trackdays...

[billyboysm3]

Snetterton is a good track for the CSL. We are there on the 2nd Nov.

[adem.csl]

All revised and full of new tricks and goodies!!both cars will be doin serious work!!

[cslsuperfan]

Shimmy's spa time

Anyone know the shimster's fastest lap at Spa?

2.50 seems to be a respectable time

Come on shim let's have it.....

if it's under 2.45 I'm not coming

[shimmy]

2m 59,4 iirc

and that felt a bit loose tbh

wing will help and slicks but acceleration and top speed also may be reduced which may be an issue. Most race teams run less wing a Spa i think

[billyboysm3]

Adem put some hours in last night, Fitted my last set of RS29's hanging around the garage, bonnet, front splitter, Uniroyals and geo tweak for Sat.

Love the rear wing.

Wicked wing end plates.

[Brandtner]

The rear wing is mint!

[Das Chin]

I doubt the marshalls at the ring will share the same view?

those end plates are like massive daggers to an out of talent biker.

are they removeable?

I wont be driving this to the ring or be doing a track day at the ring.

Brands or Donny will be far enough.
Fair play to Adem driving it to Zandvoort.

Come off in 2min.
