Default European Touring car footage from Road Atlanta

http://www.seththomas.net/media-gall...6-touring-car/

This past weekend I drove an old BMW E36 Touring Car at Road Atlanta. This little 4cyl powered BMW was able to lap with slicks in the 1:32.85 range. On R-Comps, NT01s are on the car in the video, a 1:35.10 is what we could get out of the car during the race.

This car is really a great car to drive as everything worked in it flawlessly. It had a sequential box, 300HP 2.5L Motor, airjacks, centerlocks, dual-master cylinder racing brake system, and more. For a car as old as this car was it was one of the most awesome cars I have driven. You were always busy either shifting, downshifting, or driving the car as it was fast and solid.

wow you were busy in there, i wish i could hop in any car and be blazing fast.

glad to see the wheel came off basically when you were going straight and not while turning or coming down turn 12.

Nice drive! It looks exceptionally balanced, I bet it was a pleasure to drive. Love the sequential box.

Are you guys going to be at Barber for the PBOC event/races again this year?

We really need to get NT01's in correct Porsche GT3 sizes so more people can learn to drive on them. It's a much better tire to improve your skills, compared to a set of sticky Hoosiers.
