NASA GTS-3 at Autobahn

[e92motorsports]

Raced this past weekend with NASA Midwest in GTS-3, qualified pole and was leading the whole race till we spun on the last lap. My trans seal broke and we were leaking trans fluid which resulted in my rear tires breaking loose.

Big thank you goes out to VS Motorsports for getting this car finished up in time for the race and with their on track support there is no way we would've qualified first and led the whole race till the end. The car was a blast to drive.



Here is a video:

Looks like a blast, too bad on the spin. If I may ask, was this full, south or north and what were your times? Can't wait to get back out on Autobahn's full circuit, I love it

[e92motorsports]

We were running low 1.34's and this was south course.

1:34's are moving, hope to see you out there one day. Car looks great, love race prepped E46's

WOW. glad you are ok, and did not hit that tire wall. Your car looks awesome, BTW I like your rear caliper position haha

Nice car. I ran the same wing on my E36, Brooks is a good guy. Glad you missed the wall.

Nicely prep'd e46 M3! Glad you missed the tires.

[e92motorsports]

Thank you guys, when the tires snapped back all I thought was please miss the tire wall.

But on a good note car is back at VS Motorsports and will be done shortly!

Scary coming that close to the tire wall! Could have been much worse, glad the car was okay

[Singletrack]

Crappy luck! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew on tire wall...when that video slowed down, I thought it was going to speed up and show the car hit the wall : |

[VSmotorsports]

Can't wait to get this back on the track for you. Should be an awesome year!

Was this between turns 12-13, or semewhere else on the course? The video brought back some bad memories, as I hit a tire wall after a spin in the wet coming out of 12 (in my R32), 2 years ago. As others have commented, that was some good luck missing it. I think I saw your car in VS's shop last week (they put a half-cage in my R32), interesting seeing this thread.
