      get a sim racer in your house and do hundreds of laps of the ring and i promise you will have the car to its limits very quickly, knowing the corners is the biggest thing with the ring for going fast, everything after that is setup and the conditions on the day

      @@goldtutch I did a load of laps on Forza before my first trip 2 years ago, so learnt the basic corner directions from there. What you don't get in even a proper sim is the elevation changes and g-forces. I've done maybe 80 laps now (in real life!) and feel like I am getting to know the place. There's a lap on my channel from later in the day after the lap with Misha,.

    Hello Comrade... watching this video reminds me of all the good times I had with my E46 M3 CSL, especially @ The Ring 🥰 although I never lifted on upshifts in S6 MODE 😉 Seems unreal that the E46 CSL is already 20 years old. THANX for the memories 👍

    • @cjkpre
      @cjkpre Рік тому +1

      You don’t have to lift, but you can see how violent S6 flat shifts are on the GoPro. It’s so much smoother when you lift slightly, and I personally like the additional interaction with the car. I’m not racing, so am not bothered about losing 10ths or 100ths on each upshift, and am convinced it’s kinder to a 20 year old drivetrain and chassis.

      @@paskowitz few people have done it with them but they found it wasn’t what they thought and converted back to smg. I’ve had a csl since 2005 and never sold it. Last thing I’d do is convert it. Smg is great once you learn it

    It's fun to see Misha in an e46 M3. I have a e85 Z4M which is very similar. I run Kumho Ecsta v730 tires. Michelin seems to be the go-to but I wonder how v730 tires would handle the ring?

    This car would be even more amazing with a modern dual clutch transmission.

    The E46 M3 CSL is worth £70k to £100k in the UK. Absolute timeless classic
