Car is quite a bit down on power this time since I detune it to run on 93 pump gas instead of E85 like before. Lost about a second from my last year's time, but I think the tradeoff in sheer speed is well worth it since I can better concentrate on improving my braking and cornering. Was hoping to improve the lines even more in the later sessions, but my water pump starts to fail (about time I suppose), which was a big bummer.

Still a great time for Gingerman!
What tire sizes do you run? It's a little hard to tell from a video but it seems your car has some understeer that might be limiting the overall grip.
Still impressed with the power to be honest. Even on this tune it still seems like it has a hint more grunt than most E9x M3s. Likely just all that mid range torque really showing itself.
