New M4 Ring lap time

billyboysm3 · 03-07-2014, 08:37 AM

So the new M4 sets a lap time of 7m 52 seconds, still 2 seconds off the CSL.

Does anyone know if this was on cup/cup2 as I can only read about sticky michelins?

If on Cups and 10 years on these cars are surely going to keep rising!!

Pretty good time though . . . only 4 secs off the £120k GTS

Was the M4 lap the same distance as the CLS lap?

Yeah it will be, they get rid of the cones at the end of the day at the old pits to allow proper full laps. Lamborghini were doing it last time I was there.

Wonder what the time will come down to when someone turns up the wick on the M4?
