Franzino said:My buddy knows the track almost the same as me (maybe even a little bit better)… We come 10 times a year and normally he drives with his e92 M3 Competition Pack + AP at the ring and I can not keep up with him. It was the second time, (after two years) that he came back with the F430 and not the M3. So I think the reason I could keep up with Z4M, that he is a bit more careful in these colder conditions and he also needed to get to know the 430 on this track again. Next year (after some more Nurburgringtrips) he will certenaily leave me far behind and even more so when there is a track suspension under the F430. I don't mind to get left behind…it's all about the fun and damn it was a fun closing weekendEwazix said:Great video and a good effort
How should the two cars compare for 'best times' round the circuit? it looked like the F wasn't carrying momentum in to or through the turns for the first half? i.e being a bit careful, which is pretty understandable I suppose
The only thing this shows; it's that the main thing to go fast at the ring is knowledge of the track and your car.
Me vs a Porsche 997 Turbo S shows this really clear...
