This is how the RingBeemer got on during a summer spent at the Ring:

And a relatively quiet full lap:

Did I hear 147MPH in the second video Jim?

Also.... answers a few questions about the effects of an M30 in an E30 :wink:

Some good footage, although a tad more patience with idiots was required!.

I can imagine its extremely frustrating, but the last thing you want is a dead bike rider on your bonnet! :eek:

Patience is normally a virtue of mine, that's unkind editing... but point taken. That particularly suicidal biker was very frustrating though, he knew I was there, just cut across regardless!

The car is two weeks off going out again, I can't wait!

It wasn't meant in a pistonhead patronising manor by the way!

That biker would have had me fuming as well. Self preservation doesn't come into some idiots mind. Really annoys me that he cains off in a straight line, then can't maintain any decent speed around a corner. Another biker even makes him look daft at one point round a corner.

No worries mate. PH is seriously bitchy these days isn't it? I do think, on reflection, a bit of criticism of how 'commited' :wink: I was is probably fair :D

I have only 2 or 3 posts on PH, and they are on Le mans stuff, I don't post on there. I go on there to have a laugh at children squabbling in the track day and police/crime sections. Most amusing. :)

Hello Jim, I remember seeing your car at its shakedown at C'Combe last year, looks like you've got it singing! I'm intending on being with the northloop crew at C'Combe early Sept, might see you and the beast there!

My cars doing well thanks Jim, did my first Ring trip last month which lived upto all expectations and more. The car is still fundamentally standard, just stripped out, cage, proxes, brakes etc. Next step is new H&R Cup Kit. Enjoy the Ring and I'm sure I'll bump into you in the future (not literally of course)

The H&Rs will make a massive difference. 8) When are you out at the Ring again... it tends to make you irrational!

in the 1st video that 5 series looked like he was having fun 8) almost as much fun as you in the wet :D


i must admit i expected the m30 to understeer more than that. andy (guy who has been tracking his m30 said he get a fair bit of understeer but that looked pretty balanced 8)

makes me feel a bit better about my m30 tourer :)

Ring trips will probably be annual at the mo as I have a young family dictating what resources are available!! The paln is for 4 track days a year and an the odd venture to the holy grail when possible. :wink:
