Again, not exactly a well defined process and measurement for performances. |
Came here to post the same thing 4 laps total on the M2 at the end of the day.
He describes how in the M3CS they used up one set on PZ4s, then one set of Cup2s, then they were going to run yet another set of Cup2s, only to find out they were the wrong size.
Then he described how they put a ton of laps on the Nismo, then Nissan put a new set of rotors/pads/tires to go set the time.
So to recap....They got the heaviest possible M2 (sunroof, heavy seats, auto), put the fattest driver they have on it (sorry, but true), had only one set of tires, and ran it only 4 laps at the end of the the day.
P.S. to be fair to C&D (I do appreciate their Lightning Lap and don't want to be overly critical) BMW NA just prob deliver this car at the end of the test with worn tires and s%$#. It's BMW NA's fault more than C&Ds.
