High Plains Raceway FINALLY UNDER 2 MINUTES!

- Okay, 0.02 second under two minutes isn't much to brag about... but I'm taking it anyway. HPR was pretty windy on this sunny and warm (mid to high 70s) Emich VW/Chevy open lapping day so that didn't help; neither did me overslowing and not using the whole track in T3 and T4.
After I finish my hot lap and run into a gaggle of slow traffic, check out the driver of the yellow Focus not doing what you're supposed to on track... moving off the race line in T4-T5 instead of staying on the line and being predictable.
The car is a 2016 BMW M3 DCT on 275/35-18 Falken RT660 front and 295/35-18 ADVAN A052 rear. The wheels are Apex EC-7, 10.5" F and 11" rear. This is my first time driving the car on track with a BM3 stage 2 (91 octane) tune and M4 GTS rear diff and steering tune via Bimmer-Remote.com. Still on the same half-assed suspension setup: OEM Adaptive M dampers, Vorshlag camber plates, Swift Spec R springs, and a Hotchkis front swaybar (one hole on one side only up from full soft).

HEy man....when Harry's Lap Timer had my fastest lap at 2:14.97, that was a 2:14!
You earned that 1:59! Well done!
I love this 😍
hey I saw you you commented that you’ve ran 295/30/18 on your setup. Do you think 295/35/18 would fit with eibach springs stock damper 18x10.5 +20 in the front. I would run -3 camber more or less
295/35-18 will fit up front w OE dampers on 10.5" +20 wheels 3 deg. camber, but the issue is the 295/35 size is tall, so the tire will rub the fender liners badly when you try to turn. I've extensively reshaped the fender liners (heat gun) to gain clearance plus trimmed a little metal behind them on the back side (toward the passenger compartment) to get very tall and wide tires like 305/30-19s (mostly) clear while turning.
@@panda_exprs thanks for the reply. Do you have ig. Would love to follow to
Get some advice on building my car.

NICE!
Dang dude. That’s quick. Also 275’s up front? How do you not rub?
275/35s clear no problem, no rubbing (+22 on a 10.5"-wide wheel) lowered with 3.5 degrees of negative camber... I normally run 295/30-18s up front, which are wider/better for front grip of course and 295/30s also clear the front fender liner when turning... it's very close though.
Nice work!
Thanks; in 2021, my best lap time at HPR was 1:57.6... that's this video: czcams.com/video/232oQ3zscqE/video.html In 2022, I'm making major suspension changes and hope to shave several full seconds off that PB.
You're still only 19 seconds faster than me so... Just kidding, congratulations! What are those street tires.
I know, I left at least .7 seconds out there, even with the windy conditions... :( Falken RT660s on the front (fresh-ish), Yokohama A052s in the rear (definitely not fresh, one tire was starting to chunk/delaminate after the 2nd session that day)
@@EGbeater Now that you've tried the 660s, what do you think?
@@Heririck I thought they communicated a little better than the A052. Hard to judge relative grip since they were undersized (275/35) vs the ADVAN in 295/30 I ran before. The RT660s' outer shoulders wore pretty significantly after just 6 sessions this weekend (3 at PPIR, 3 at HPR). I would not choose to run any of these current-gen "as sticky as possible no matter what it says on the sidewall" 200TW tires on track unless required to by competition class rules...
Stupid Miatas making you take a cool down lap every time you're behind them....pffffft!
The Miata driver did nothing wrong... the Focus driver, at the end of the video clip, on the other hand...
@@EGbeater I know! Just baggin’ on the Miata because I own one and because of that, I can get away with it. 🤣
@@EGbeater Oh geez! Just watched to the end of the video....Focus guy needs to check his mirrors and learn how to point someone by.
@@dodgingcones27well it's actually about the car being overtaken being required to *stay on the racing line and to be predictable (not to move over to "yield" to the faster car)*... this was the "fast" group, so no point-bys were necessary, just up to the overtaking driver to move off-line and make a safe pass while on the gas (passing by late-braking someone into a corner is not allowed)
