No EuroHoon 2020? Ok then... Motoring Weekend Blow Out... Err.. 2020

[Peter-E36]

Well what a weekend that was, a much needed motoring blow out after months of lockdown!

Friday I went to play with an M2 Competition on track, I brought my friend Barry along (the owner of that 997), part of me was worried I'd built it up too much but when he came out of the car with his hands shaking with excitement and grinning from ear to ear and I knew I hadn't

I was hoping it wouldn't be as good as I remembered from my time with it last year but sadly, it is. So yea, I still want one.



I'd also always kept an eye on the drift sessions they do in Mondello and could never find a suitable slot, but on Thursday night I found a slot for Friday after the M2 session so I just went for it... And it was so much fun! Highly recommend it. I already booked the "level 2" session on the 1st August which will be 45 mins seat time, can't wait!

Here's a little video which doesn't show me spinning. Because I never spun, obviously



Then Saturday I had booked the afternoon track session with trackdays.ie and really enjoyed it, was great to be able to finally wind the car up through the gears and see how it behaves at the limit. The M3 is my daily, my pride and joy and my only car at the moment so obviously I was sensible and didn't rag it to death or anything, I took lots of breaks to let everything cool down and the car performed flawlessly with no brake fade or anything else, I got Conor to put in some fresh racing fluid for me ahead of the track session so I'm sure that helped. I will say I don't think track days are for me though, I'm not into lap times and driving 10/10s, I much prefer the "flow" of a nice twisty mountain road. Anyway, here's a video I put together from all the clips people sent me (Thank you Derek, Simon, and J).

Towhooks fitted front and rear would suggest you had intended driving at 10/10ths at least.....

Haha you could say the same about wearing a helmet

Don’t know if it’s fear mongering to get people to fit them, but they say if anything happens and you don’t have them on they take you out with a fork lift or something like that. Maybe someone who goes regularly can confirm.

Couple of photos I thought were nice from the trackdays.ie page
