What a Jol.

Was at track at 5:00 to do registrations only left at 20:00. Was a very very busy day, also very tiring. But all ran smoothly!!

Thanx to those that attended or entered

Thank you Bernard for the dedication to the cause, best track day I've ever experienced. Thank you to all BMWCCG staff and members for the perfect track day.

Expected to see more fanatics there though...:hammerhead:

It felt like my wedding :rollsmile:
Months of preparation, hard work and money but over in a couple of hours!!

Thanx for the appreciation trust me a lot of work went into this event, it's the biggest and most expensive one that we have had, and hopefully not the last!!!

Special mention must go out to Michael Broom who was the main organizer of the whole thing!

The whole BMWCCG team were on their A game yesterday, it showed. Michael was walking around the pits most of the day chatting to competitors and getting feedback of the event. It was also a great idea to have the whatsapp group to post info and times, well thought out.

Thank you Bernard.
Its difficult to see in the video that Im lifting front wheels in the bends.

I have some cool footage of session 4 with the RGM M6 in front of me, I was much faster through the bends and he was getting in my way, then we hit the straights and he leaves me for dead, next couple corners and Im right behind him again, this went on for most of the session until he pulled off the circuit and gave me some clear track.

Will upload the raw footage of that session quick.

Icechilly and Gizmo, what were your best lap times achieved?

Gizmo, what car were you driving?

E36 328i, was there to enjoy the car and take my wife and friends round for hotlaps, not to set a fastest lap. In the open session at the end I did a 2min 22sec.

There were 2 numbers on the M6 so I guess there were 2 drivers. The driver in my session seemed very nervous and inexperienced on track.

Only a 2:09? I would have expected a lot better.

Was a great day and that track is awesome! Good to see you there also Gizmo.

I also thought a 2.09 was slow for that car.
Can't wait for the 2017 BMWCCG Kyalami day.

Thanks Bruce, your E36 sounds awesome, almost as awesome as Dino's red 3.0lt M3.

thanks bud.

Here is some footage from race 2. Not my best driving as we had to remove the new race brakes and fit standard e46 M3 discs, and had to remove the spacers due to vibration underbraking so the car was not handeling as it should. But I finished 2nd in the first race and 1st in the 2nd race after starting at the back of the grid due to the reverse grid rules ending up 1st for the day in class. I was however not awarded the position as it would have apparently affected the championship which i was not part of due to it being my first race with BMW Club this year.
Hope you enjoy.

I wish, I accidentally left the camera on in the pits and the battery went flat. My passenger scare-cam recorded it but I will need Angie's consent to upload it.


I see you have the racepics already Bruce, their site hasn't uploaded them yet.
