My first time at the 'ring. Lots of understeer at the limit and tire squeal throughout.

Made the GIF from a youtube movie. Click for tiresqueal:

As far as I can tell by the interior, the camera car is an E46. To be honest I was quite nervous, so I don't remember passing it. I found it while looking for footage of our motley crew that took on a nearly 3000km roadtrip this summer, starting in Slovenia, going through Salzburg, München, Ingolstadt, Nürnberg, Nürburgring, Strassbourg, Zürich, Liechtenstein, Livigno, Stelvio and back through Italy to Slovenia.

Also, if you go to the 'ring and want your picture taken, but you don't have buddies to do it for you, there's a bunch of fellas shooting on most Touristdrive days and you can get the photo online. Like so (for a small fee, they remove the watermark):

Awesome to see your 9000 running in the 'Ring. So what time did you do?

Race driver excuses time? :) Took two runs in my 9000, but I never had a clear track due to crashes and the tires are shot to hell. The Bridge to Gantry time was a 10:33 as a result. Clear track would put me around the 10 minute mark. I vowed to return with new rubber next year!
