Decided to attend the latest open track day at the Bahrain International Circuit in my M Coupe. Last time I tracked this car was when the circuit first opened in 2004. I just upgraded the PS2s to PSS and these things are fantastic on the track.

It was a blast. I honestly forgot how enjoyable this car is. Its high-revving engine, precise steering and even weight distribution makes it a breeze. I was able to stay ahead of an SLS for 3 hard laps (although to be fair, I think he was new and taking it pretty easy).

More pics.



















I lost my emblem on the second lap


and this beauty was spotted

 

Had a blast today nice pix! Good seeing you we really represented the ///M crew today and I'm so glad we just missed the dreaded rain!

 

I hope you got some good GoPro footage

 

Great pics. Hopefully i'll be at the next one. Need to use my tires up as I have new pirelli's waiting to go on

 

 

Nice vids! That white AMG behind me was quite a quick one mashallah - would have eaten me alive if it weren't for my evolve tune!

Here's one of 3 vids I made today -- its the one with the most action lol.

 

Man that 5.0 is fast!

I'm no pro, but if you work on learning the racing line you'd really destroy those vettes

 

Ya man I think pretty much all the cars out there today were modded lol. A lot of the Vette drivers I think were new to the BIC track I kept having to brake super-early behind them which kept getting me off track with my line and timing. But I do agree to work harder on getting more familiar with those lines - only a matter of time!

 

Awesome pictures bro! I was in two minds to move my ass and come, but the lazier half got the better of me!

 

Next one, bring the C, I'll bring the GT2 and we'll party like its 1999
