My M3 chasing a GTR & Z06 at Sebring

HPDE at Sebring Raceway. I'm chasing a Nissan GT-R and a Corvette Z06 in my M3 ZCP. I have minor suspension track mods and brakes, but basically stock. The GT-R and Z06 eat me up on the straights. The first lap is a warm-up with no passing. The Z06 and I get point-bys by the Nissan a couple laps in. I finally manage to get by the Z06 at the end of the session. Sorry for the crappy camera angle - was before I got my harness bar mount.

In track driving it's not about the car, it's about the driver. Obviously the GT-R is a much faster car, but not everyone is capable of driving it to it's potential. The GT-R kills my car in the straights, but the driver has to slow down for the turns which is where a slower car can catch up. He had to let up to let me pass but after a few turns, I didn't even see him anymore. HIs straight-away times were faster, but my overall lap time was faster. Same driver=GT-R faster.

I mount mine my GoPro on the front bumper, and on my roll bar. I have found the front bumper really captures the action and allows to see turn in points..in car is cool but mine was not as cool as some other vids..man taking video on track is hard..they should teach that too...lol

Nice! If you have the sunroof as I do on my ZCP, the front right side of the glass makes an excellent camera mounting location (e.g. GoProHD with sucker mount) as you can see the entire track out the front windshield, your arms and gauges but the mirror or your helmet isn't in the way.
