I Took My M3 to Cadwell Park, The UK's Mini Nurburgring - Did I Make a Terrible Mistake?

  • Cadwell Park is a tight, twisty circuit in the rural countryside of Lincolnshire, England. I took my 625bhp Supercharged M3 here for a track day - but I was worried with conditions earlier in the week being poor that perhaps it was the wrong car. With the sun shining I decided to chance it - did I make the right decision?

    Nice work. Like the in-car shot with external exhaust overlay. You might not want to thank someone for moving over whilst breaking hard before turn in (yellow Renault), nearly carried too much speed there :p

    Of course you didn't make a mistake taking your car to Cadwell Park. My favourite race circuit in the UK. Be careful at Hairpin when it rains, especially in autumn when the trees lay down their leaves, many people come a cropper there.

    M3 sounds mega. Two tips (not that you're looking for them) but keep your hands on the wheel, don't feed it, this way you know exactly where your wheels are pointing. When you get faster this will become important should you need to correct the car. Secondly, don't say thank you to every driver you pass. it's already acknowledged by the respect of pulling over, you would no doubt do the same for a faster driver. Again, it keeps both hands on the wheel and your mind concentrated.

    • @JayEmmOnCars
      @JayEmmOnCars  6 років тому

      Yeah I need to stop feeding the wheel, I noticed it when I watched the video too. Still getting used to the car a bit and doing that on auto pilot

    absolutely brilliant content J. wow. Loved the way the car got light coming over the hill climb and we can hear it break traction. sound very cool, camera angles cool. The best content on you tube. It was like the scene from Bullitt. Just raw footage with no talking in those sections.
    Well done.

    Pretty good groove on @ 3rd lap around for a driver that hasn’t committed the track 100% to memory yet. I wouldn’t want anything with longer legs than your M3 on that track. Aare you WFO throttle on the longer 2 straight-a-ways? Loving the scream of your motor. What temperature/speed ratings are your tires and what’s track temperature?....seems your tires are squalling laterally a little too easily....did you leave some air out of your tires?

    • @JayEmmOnCars
      @JayEmmOnCars  6 років тому

      Dave
      I didn't get temp readings from the tyres, I keep them around 33-34 psi warm but may have to reduce that. I was pushing pretty hard and they are a road compound, not track - didn't expect good weather like this for a while so deliberately chose a tyre that I could warm up easily. And yeah WFO for the two straights, by the end of the day I was doing 140+ on them

    This is your trackiest track car? I have to ask(and I mean no subtext insult here) how is it so quiet inside? Is the car very hushed, or is you lapel microphone just excellent beyond measure? Beautiful track, and nice driving. Love the brake chatter/rumble, noticed it before you mentioned it. Lol, I know it by heart - I have the same song on loop, atm.
