Laguna Seca 1:42 2017 BMW M2

Went to Laguna last Sunday and drove the car pretty hard. Managed several 1:42's and almost had a 1:41. Kept botching turn 11 as the car has much more torque so there is some "drifting" throttle oversteer which is awesome but slow.

I think a 1:40 flat is possible in this car with some suspension tuning and some more cajones.

Still can't quite get to Porsche Cayman GT4 times. Guys were putting down 1:38.6 which is pretty damn quick for a street car.

Video quality isn't great b/c of white balance.

Hey you shouldn't be reading pieces of paper while you are on the track. LOL.
