I'd be pretty intimidated to drive that beast anywhere close to its potential.

Yeah, but not just a normal journalist, having owned a GT3 RS, M3, 599 GTO, RS4 and some other go fast cars.
He even could hold up with some pro's as seen in this video

The M3 badge at the back of the bootlid maybe?

I think those tri-color racing stripes are also available as an option on the production M3

Sick!!!!

Wow! Really cool video.

DentalBoy · 12-05-2013, 10:16 AM

Awesome video! When can I get my turn??

Savage_M3 · 12-05-2013, 10:38 AM

Did anyone else notice the guy who's job it was to hold a leaf blower aimed at the front of the car (engine intake or radiator?) as they pulled it out the paddocks? I assume it's to keep the car from over heating if it sits stationary for too long.

Ghetto2315 · 12-05-2013, 11:14 AM

I'm at work and had the volume up a little higher than I should have but attracted a crowd at my desk lol. Love this

BuckRodgers · 12-05-2013, 12:14 PM

You mean more like an LM GT1/GT2 car? An F1 racecar would make it look like it's standing still.

Chris Harris is a phenomenal automotive journalist.

Judging by the way he drives, he's apparently got some big stones, too
