Nope. Read more

To be fair I do tend to rant... a lot Read more

No I am comparing a road legal race car to a full load race car (as you put it). I could add a horn and street tires to the TT RS I could register it in a half dozen countries in Europe.

Yep other than the different drivers part I fully agree. There have been no standards at all for record attempts. That being said the Ring management has put regulations in place for record attempts now, however it seems that Lynk & Co went around these Read more

Yes the base car is available however the car they set this “record” with is not that car. By all description it is a version of their TCR car made road legal in Sweden. (BTW you could make a Zamboni road legal in Sweden if you add blinkers and a horn). Read more

Hell here is a (estimated) 7:10 lap during a VLN race full tank of full, hard compound tires, with traffic! It’s just an estimated time as the VLN runs the combined GP circuit and Nordschleife, but in testing we were easily running in the mid 6:50 range.

Nah that is fairly standard Ring etiquette. I’ve seen much worse  Read more

Yes it’s an over-boost. It’s only available for 10 seconds at a go. Sorry I did not detail that in full Read more

Nope you’re safe there. For now... Read more

Thanks. No snark intended. I’ll talk to the powers that be about the table of data at the end. If thats the new policy I’ll make sure its in my next review  Read more

Thanks! Read more

Its the electric motor adding extra boost to the gas powered engine. Its engaged by going into Sport mode or getting on the throttle hard Read more

Single button push and you’re in full EV mode Read more

My point wasn’t to tell someone what to focus on. Everyone has their thing that is important to them. What I was saying however, was that you can’t just look at the EV piece of a hybrid a declare that its not good.Hybrids are designed with both the ICE and the EV working together. Thats like looking at only 4 cylinders… Read more

Unfortunately BMW has not released US pricing yet (which I said). The 2018 330e was around $45k so assume a few grand more for this one. Read more

Just wait until the next gen M’s come out... Read more
