I was at RA in December.

I will be at Roebling Road next weekend w/ NASA.

Probably going to do Gridlife CMP, Gridlife LRP, and most of the NASA SE circuit this year.

If you need/want an m2 driving instructor LMK :P

Having said that, BMW gives you almost -2 camber in front stock. You can make it work if you manage the front tires.

Just have some fun stock. It’s a track day not a race. Go from there.
Wow. I would have thought there is some camber adjustment on the M2. Fortunately, I have kept my 2023 ZL1 1LE, with all the adjustability and sophisticated Multi-matic spool-vale suspension, and it will remain my primary track car. I'll just drive the M2 stock and see how much I like it. Might be a nice complement to the ZL1 beast. :-)

I'd just throw in a bucket seat in your case and get the car's baseline first.
Thanks! I'm getting educated about the limitations of the M2 for track usage, so I'll just drive it in stock form and see how I like it. Glad I've got my ZL1 1LE for more aggressive track driving. :-)

I typically run with Chin Track Days. I live near Atlanta, so I do mostly their events at Road Atlanta and Barber MP. Sometimes I'll go to Atlanta Motorsports Park. Maybe Roebling or Carolina MP. I sold my trailer and tow vehicle, so now I just go to tracks now that are relatively easy drives in the track-day car. You nearby N Georgia I presume?

Thanks! I've been doing track days in a variety of cars since 1995, but there's always something to learn. If you're ever at Rd Atl and see a white ZL1 1LE or a Toronto Red M2 (typically #71), it will be I. :-)

For what it’s worth, I had to have my M2 aligned under warranty today, because the steering wheel was slightly off-center (seems like the port install of the M Perdormance Suspension has been sloppy - the BMW Regional Tech came to take pictures of my car to try to document and improve the situation)

So here is my alignment sheet (after corrections). The only concern I have is the big cross-camber delta in front - most of the tracks I run are clockwise which sucks to have less csmber exactly on the front left. My luck.

I just hope there was not a bad install of the MP HAS.
