The paint is ceramic coated, so it washed off with slightly firmer pressure from the wash mitt. Most of the rubber though was on the PPF covered areas (front bar, side rockers). That didn’t wash off at all, but came away reasonably easily with car polish. I used Meguires NXT. Might try WD40 too as someone mentioned.

My record is hitting 247kmh on the strait in a pre-LCI f80. Don’t know if I’d ever want to push that again. I still get sweaty palms thinking about that day.

Thank you. It’s my favourite track. The final turn onto the straight and the first turn after the straight are the toughest to get right. But if you do you set yourself up for a great lap time. Looking back on my footage for the day, I definitely wasn’t carrying enough speed into either curve, and I think I attacked harder in the M2C. But, it has been nearly 12 months since I last drove here.
I’ll be back on this track in 3 weeks, but with BMW Advance 2 Driver Training, in the G80/G82. Should be a very interesting comparison.

Thanks MBR. Actually, that Porsche toasted itself. The driver unfortunately ran a touch wide coming onto the main straight and dipped a wheel off the track. Speared back over the tarmac and into the wall, then caught fire. Driver’s ok (at least until he tells his wife), but the car was a wreck. Was sobering for us recreational enthusiasts to say the least.

Yeah, these were quite good and very consistent. With the PSS, I got that 1.50.5 once and early on, then couldn’t get close. Got within 2 seconds at best, but on the ragged edge. The 71RS kept hitting that 1.48, 1.49 all day without much fuss if I got a cleanish run with traffic. That could be more the set-up of the CS over the Comp, but there is definitely more speed there to unlock.
