My video camera went for a few laps of Castle Combe in Jay's Z3M. This will probably always be known as 'The Holy ****!!!!' video.
Enjoy...

Quality. Enjoyed watching that, especially the end bit! Reminds me of Norfolk
Z3M with a few mods...and a little bit more power

Great video and some good laps. I didn't see anything getting past you either! Great tail slides at the end

Is the blue Z3M an S50 or S54? It seems slightly quicker than the camera car but I think that runs 19" wheels?

It's an S50 but I'm not sure if he is carrying the extra weight of a passenger like the S54 camera car.

I won't pretend the estoril car was me. I drove somewhat less fast than that. He & Jay are both excellent drivers as the video shows. I spoke to the estoril guy. He has an induction kit & lower backpressure exhaust. Also M3 suspension bushes I think he said. To give more camber on the front wheels. The front wheels were nearly touching the front of his wheel arches.

They were both setting quite a pace so the roof up on the Estoril would help the aerodynamics.

The S50 was a very good driver ... also had bigger B*ll$ than me in the corners getting the back end to slide.
I was quicker on the straights but since I had OEM pads I broke early on the corners. Lucky really as I almost got caught out on tower corner. I just scruubed off enough speed to make the corner.
