24/25 BMW Race Driver Enduro Series | Round 1 | Hampton Downs | Race 2 (1 hour)
Race 2 of the first round of the 24/25 BMW Race Driver Endurance Series, held at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park.
This is a bit unusual in that we actually had two races for this round: a 30 minute race earlier in the day, and this 1 hour main feature to end the day.
Man this was so much fun. I more or less started and finished where I should have but it was a super fun race. I'm so proud of all the BMW race drivers, they all drove superbly. Plenty of respect and racing room, even when they were mixing it up.
We had the inevitable safety car and it came just as I was heading in for my compulsory pitstop, so that was perfectly timed. Other than that, there isn't much to report. I bloody love this car, it is so fast and so easy to drive.
I will say though, it really needs some kind of cabin cooling. An hour in that oven and I came very close to passing out when I finally crawled out of the car. That was hard work. And loved every minute of it.
Car: BMW E46 M3
Result: P8 Overall; P1 Open B
Best time: 1.12.797

New for Nazcar this season, the Firecracker event was held at 3 of the 4 rounds. It is a time-certain 30 or 40-lap preliminary race. This round was a 40 lapper - so you have 50minutes and it's either first to 40 laps or whoever has done the most laps at 50min wins! The weather was not on my side unfortunately.

Thanks for sharing! I really appreciated this onboard video. Cheers from a new subscriber in Brazil!
Man i wish u got more attention for ur video ur really a good driver u got what i dream of
Oh thanks dude, appreciate that. Living the dream ;)
What are the rules around helmet mounted GoPros during events?
Yip turns out. Went through scrutineering fine, but I checked when I got home, and quite right; do as I say, not as I do kids!
@ ok. So do they allow it? I’ve wanted to run my GoPro on my helmet during events but kinda got the feeling that wasn’t allowed.
@@joshverkleywell as I say, it passed tech, but the rules are pretty clear lol 😅 I probably won’t again (the view wasn’t great anyway)
Cool videos JP
My guess is Sparg wasn't left enough room by the blue car on his left, and had no choice but to cut you off on the right. I've had the same thing happen to me - hopefully not to much damage all round. Great driving though - was an epic battle between you and the black car minute 14-18!
Promo SM
Superb sound when you Rev it out!
It kind of just keeps on going. I keep bottling out and short shifting at 7600 too 😆
@@220kwsnz Seems like it! Haha, keep on it till the dash goes red!
Keep going
Wow i have your car now, have just bought the cts cold air intake kit for it :( but ive seen that it wont fit after watching your video, is there any chance you still have this kit and if so, could i buy it off you?
Oh bugger. Hi nope car and both kits have all gone sorry. Both kits do fit, but the NM engineering fit better, you just have to do some massaging to get the CTS kit to fit nicely...
Oh right cool thanks
I remember going to see the real Jimmy James and eli at the old empire at Middlesbrough they were hilarious up in the gods that was the days
Just ordered this for my R60 cannot wait to hear it
It’s fun 😄
That’s some very obvious sandbagging down the front straight…
How much power does this BMW race car have and what does it weigh ? It looks to be one of the quicker cars, as it got up to 158 kph not long before Point Halswell
Hi. With the mild tune in theory it makes around 490bhp. I think from memory it was about 1275/1300kg with some fuel in it. Definitely a hoot to drive. That was my first time around there so I was being pretty cautious, didn't want to end up in the ocean!
Is that High Class Gray?
Hi yes i think it was, with custom vinyl chequerboard
it's amazing how the most airintake system collect the air in hor rear area , to forward back to front to turbo only expensivedump 😂😂 on coolingbottle is enough space for sprintfilter box, only relocation of coolingwaterbottle and you have cold ram air on short way to turbo
Great multi-camera coverage !
Outstanding 💥! Your videos are always so well-crafted, I'm a big fan.
Shit yeah nice one on the pb. So rad this was televised and you got the footage
Hello there. I enjoyed your walk on the wild side a bit of narration would be nice to say where you are rtf. From Mr Holden of Barrowford UK IS I was your first Like thumbs up. Lol
Hahaha excellent it will look very unfamiliar to you lol
Your fastest laps were in traffic. You ran your gears like there was some sort of regulation or rule book. (Your braking and recovery(s) were obviously up to snuff, eh!) I wish you a snowy winter and an old RWD car with bald tires, no shocks, and a 4sp gearbox frozen in 3rd. #GetMyDrift ? 😆
Ok mr drifter 🤙🤙🤙
Definitely more rally than drifter hahaha
This is an n18 though
Yip it’s an N18, the kit is not for an N18. So we make it work…
This engine is n18b16a you have wrong information
Yip it’s an N18, the kit is not for an N18. So we make it work…
Not a patch on the Eli woods version
I suggest you better own F56 instead this R56. my experience it's really a junk.
Ripping harddd
awesome
Why couldn't you open the Box take the stuff out put on the table before starting the video nobody has the whole length of time to watch you do all of that that's so simple to take the paper out you don't need a phd to do that
Any idea how to get a stuck turbo inlet tube loose on the 2015 Mini JCW Roadster? Putting in an AEM cold air intake and am at wits end. Unfortunately yours looks nothing like mine but at least it is a Mini so maybe you have some insider info!
From memory I think this one was a little tricky too, just given the material and heat cycles etc. Twisting to try and get some lateral movement first is best bet, then twisting and pulling. Could try a little silicone grease/spray around the lip too.
@@220kwsnz Thanks!
Nope scratch the CTS off my list 🙅🏽♂️....AEM it shall be for me.
Loved it! Great tribute to the original well done.
Only a pale imitation on the version with Eli Woods I’m afraid.
4:30 to 4:45. Absolute Poetry, from the lads.
screw upthrough??
I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I want to remove the stock box but I don’t want too much PSHH lol I need to find that exact right amount of PSHH
Ahhh yes the PSHH conundrum. It’s a fine line! I actually found this to be about right. You can just hear it in-cabin. I’m not sure if you could hear it all outside? Eventually I’ll replace the diverted valve with a GFB unit just be cause the oem is so old. But worried that might increase the PSHH-ness too!
@@220kwsnz From what I've read the GFB diverter makes less noise than the standard diverter so it may be the opposite to what you want! Although the GFB unit is way hardier and more efficient
Very funny version of this classic sketch.
Agreed!
Do you have a 2013 model?
It’s a NZ new 2012
Shoot I just ordered one for my n18 do you recommend me to return it
Hmm, well it does work, it’s just not a perfect fit!
That is an n18 though
Love your enthusiasm at the start!
Lol thanks. Like Christmas!
Just bought this intake from Mini mania and thanks to this video I’m glad I did! What other upgrades are on this mini at the time of filing? Sounds fantastic
Oh cool. Just the intake at this stage, the rest is stock. Next step will probably be a chip to up the boost and a cat-back exhaust and that will probably be it. It’s fun enough as it is!
The stock air pipe that runs underneath the intake pipe to the air box just ends up sitting beneath the new intake right?
Yup
Have you had any issues with the intake/your mini since the install? Also, were there any instructions for the installation of the kit that you found? Thanks!
Hey. Nope it runs great. No complaints - would recommend.Yip it came with instructions, there is also a link to them on the product page. nm-eng.com/collections/mini-r56-hardtop-s-1-6t-n18/products/nm-eng-hi-flo-air-intake-kit-nm6588581?variant=31236976476204
Too late, I just order a cts for my N18.. Noooooo !!!!
Haha. Well it took quite a few months to change so you know it will work for at least that long lol. Curious to see if your experience is same as mine!
He has an n18 engine I’m pretty sure
What did you do with the wires that connect to the tube?
Not sure which wires you mean, but it retains any factory sensors so everything just plugs in where it should!
Any Engine light issue?
Hi, no, no engine light problem. All the factory sensors and stuff are used so it’s just bolt on and go
Thanks for making these videos! I’ll be installing this spoiler in the next few weeks.
Any other intake/turbo mods or is all that noise at the end from the intake system upgrade? I just ordered one for my R55 JCW and would be tickled if I got all those noises from this simple upgrade.
Hi. Nope, it’s just from the intake (though note the mic was on the exterior so it’s a bit quieter in cabin but still surprisingly loud!). Have got my eye on replacement charge and intercooler pipes which will also be a bit louder...
220kwsnz awesome!! I thought about replacing the pipes with smooth molded variants also but figure that could be a job when/if going with a larger turbo. Looking forward to the Intake arriving!!
Can we get more videos on mini coopers please.
Great idea!
There are two sensor .... What did you do for that?? Sensor have pipe and go down
Hey - whereabouts do you mean? I managed to get everything plumbed in that needed to be!
