dojj, compared to everytone else i was barely using the brakes, but they still went wonky shonky M3s

after that me and chip decided to go out and do a sightseeing ap trying to get the lines worked out etc.

it was BRILLIANT! never had so much fun going so slow! you really get to learn the track when you're not panicing about braking zones and screeching off into the armco

so we did 4 of these laps, using no more than about 10% throttle, 50% engine revs and having to lightly dab the brakes in only 2 places!!!

we figured we'd time the second 2 laps just to see how slow you can throw and m3 around the ring but to our complete shock, we did a 11:20 and and 11:30 !!!! those are not bad times for some people who TRy!

we now understand HOW you can get a car to go round so fast, it's not all down to the power and the super trick suspension etc. it's about knowing the track, and knowing the lines. when you get the line right it's SO rewarding, you can carry phenominal speed through the tight bits!
