E92 m3. Yeah session 1 and 2 I was pushing the car. 3rd session I started in the back of the pack just to mess around.

I signed up for black but due to schedule I swapped to purple.

yea they always put black last. its a long wait. might even try green next time. there were a couple cars that took a while to let me pass. how was purple? seemed sort of packed. what color? there were a lot out there. lets meet up next time.

Can I ask your times? Wondering what it took to overheat? Or was it DCT?

White E92, parked right next to a space grey e92 m3(hes on the forums as well).

It was packed, nobody let anyone pass. Drag racers on the straights (looking at you cts-v). Sessions got shut down twice due to who knows what, ended both runs early.

Best time I was able to capture(ios 8 issues) and pull off due to traffic was 2 min flat, after that it was 2:04-7(up shift early, brake early) and yes DCT. I overheated on the front straight, second time on back straight.

Never doing a hot track day again.

hmm i did 1:59 with passenger taking it easy (early steady braking, lifting early), no overheating issues.

maybe it was dct?

I've been to hotter, our cars are pretty heat withstanding.

yeah some ppl out there are just idiots on the track: either they dont see you behind them OR they do but all of a sudden they think its the DTM series haha.

traffic does suck though. I just practice drifts when there is traffic but people behind me tend to freak out
