Nothing teaches you to bring your speed with you to the apex faster than trying to squeeze a lap time out of a car that doesn't let you buy your exit speed with the throttle pedal

It's a situation that can be simulated by leaving the car in 5th or 6th
That's where I struggle...I almost bought a Miata before I bought my E46 M3. I...just...couldn't...do...it. More power to those who do but I just can't get over the hair dresser stigma.

After driving COTA...I think it is one of the most boring tracks to drive. There are 3 pretty long straights where I just feel like I'm wasting fuel. I actually prefer a track in Cresson, TX...Motorsport Ranch in its 3.1 mile config. THAT'S FUN!

COTA...really cool to be on because F1 but kind of boring...



MSR 3.1...lots more turning and way more fun...
