BMW Experience Day Hot Lap

I was lucky enough to be offered a slot on a BMW Experience Day at Brands Hatch.

I got to try a range of cars including the M135, M3, M5, M6, X5M & X6M round the track which also included driving a racing spec M3.

I also had a "Hot Lap" with Tom Onslow-Cole in his BTCC car.

Here is the video ...



... I so wish I could have tried a lap in my 35D

Yes, it was cool ...

Actually I just hold the camera ... its a small hand held snappy thing ... I never really know how its going to turn out!

This is one I did when I raced someone on the beach ... I was really happy with how it came out ... and I beat them!

With a generous eBay racing budget the E90 should be able to catch Honda Civics.

Great vid Seems Tom was hitting the apexes and using full width of circuit. Looked like he was pushing and had to apply some opposite lock on the last lap for the entry into the final right hander. The short circuit as Brands is very good for improving driving skills.
