New M4 Ring lap time

[billyboysm3]

So the new M4 sets a lap time of 7m 52 seconds, still 2 seconds off the CSL.

Does anyone know if this was on cup/cup2 as I can only read about sticky michelins?

If on Cups and 10 years on these cars are surely going to keep rising!!

Pretty good time though . . . only 4 secs off the £120k GTS

Was the M4 lap the same distance as the CLS lap?

[CSLManual]

Yeah it will be, they get rid of the cones at the end of the day at the old pits to allow proper full laps. Lamborghini were doing it last time I was there.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport - as supplied at launch.

Imagine the time with Cups :whistle:

Wonder what the time will come down to when someone turns up the wick on the M4?

Old hat these CSL Ian

Bet your glad you sold yours.

Anyway when are you popping over for a brew, cookie jar is constantly full nowadays, one of my mates keeps stocking it :beer:

bit warmer and on the new cup 2 tyre that would be closer to 7m 25 or 30.

game has moved on a lot. Tyres as well as the car

the cup 2 is supposed to be awesome. Went to Goodwood with Michelin and techy guy was telling me all about the cup 2. All the supercars n big hybrids run them bar Ferrari who are on Pirelli.

What's interesting about the new M4 is the ease with which the power can be upped by tuners. Litchfield was at DN10 with a new M4, not a GTR. Should be a bigger market to address, probably quite easy to extract more power relatively cheaply.

I asked Ian what he thought about the M4 and he said it's a difficult car to improve. He loved it. Looked very nice in the flesh, I thought.

But I still wouldn't have it over Cesil.

As a profit center, I believe ///M division will make more $$$ from these new M3 M4's, but as a market segment leader, its nowhere to be seen for people that patron forums like this.

CSL is from a different era and still in my mind the ultimate representation of ///M division (I'm biased :blalalala

///M2 would be interesting though as the history correlates very well with the 2002 turbo. :smokin:

Saw a 220i today and it looks really nice. Has decent proportions.
