BMW E46 Daily Driven Track Car – TWS race, MSR Testing, Winter Plans

Bored on the Thanksgiving holiday and need something to read? Our forum build thread for the Vorshlag “Daily driven track car” BMW E46 has been updated with another big 3-part update starting here. Thousands of words, dozens of pictures, and lots of track videos are within.

In this update we discuss NASA TT classing first, and show how we ran our car 170 pounds under minimum weight for one event – legally. We also cover the race write-up for this NASA @ TWS event, where we scored two 1st place finishes in the car using 2 drivers.

Next we cover some repairs and updates after this TWS event then jump into a test day at MSR in the car, where we logged laps 2.6 seconds faster than we did here in March.

We take a quick recap of our 2017 NASA season, where we scored the TTD championship in Texas. Then we look ahead to winter updates to get ready for 2017 season, including the elusive search for 50 horsepower, aero changes, and long awaited safety upgrades in the form of a partial roll cage. It is still a street driven car, so it is a bit of a compromise. Agian, you ready read MUCH more starting here.
