C63 Doing its thing on the Ring

[nightSpirit]

Car was fantastic...no other way to put it. Started out with 6f/5r on the PSS10s and went up to 7/6. On the AD08R I managed consistent 9.02-9.05 but with the R888R this dropped to consistent 8.44-8.48 laps. Optimal lap (all best splits on one lap was a 7.50 BTG).

I'll add a few more vids of the driveby on track and clocking 165mph on the autobahn. MPG on track? 8.6

What does 'Started out with 6f/5r on the PSS10s and went up to 7/6' mean?

Not bad to be fair. Got a 8:45 without pushing it to far

I had Bilstein PSS10 coilovers fitted before the trip and they're damping adjustable from 1 (soft) to 10 (hard). To be honest I could have gone a click more but thought I'd save that to UK tracks with less undulation.

Nicely done. The 8.44 for me wasn't the limit for the car by any stretch...would have been nice to follow you for a lap.

I know what you mean.. The car is capable of so much more than i am capable of. Its why we got the ring taxi with Dale from Bridge to Gentry fame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crc_nOZfSBg

Epic lap and shows just what you can do if you've got a good car and the right driver.. lol

Brilliant, thanks for that. Was hoping to find more outside footage!
