Thanks to Jeff McGuinness for offering me a chance to do a test session in his phenomenal BMW E36 M3 GTR which was built by Lowe Group Racing. The car made 280hp on this tune. Here's some onboard video from my first session in the car. By the end of the 15 minutes I was able to run a 1:23.2 and felt really comfortable running only about a second off of Jeff's best time that day. The Drenth sequential transmission, ABS, and all of the aero components compliment each other so well. Certainly more pace in the car with a few more sessions of track time with it. Track temp was pretty hot with the ambient being 95 degrees and being on some older tires certainly made track conditions less then ideal.
I really appreciate Jeff's generous offer to drive his car. One of the best driving experiences I've ever had. Certainly an amazing car!
