Might not make this now. I've had 4 new tyres fitted, alignment done and the car is still unbalanced somehow under load. The whole of the front end of the car moves when under acceleration and it's worse when pressing on hard to the point of fighting for control of the vehicle. Unless something obvious and simple to fix is found when it's on the ramp tomorrow then I doubt it will be making an appearance.

That's a sh** mate , if you want jump in with me and you can drive mine for some laps , I wasn't planning on hitting the track to hard ( as in number of laps not DRIVING !! ) so there would be plenty of time to share .

I'm sure I could fight it round Llandow mate but is it worth it? Could spit me off and or worse break whatever it is that is clearly weakened! I'll bring something for sure.

The thing that pisses me off is that you just wouldn't get something like this in an M car or an RS etc but I just keep going back to the trident brand! Aaargh..... someone make me see sense and buy an M5 F10 or M6 to rag the **** out of on track and not worry about any issues with suspension etc.... A mate of mine takes his to the ring and BMW have put a new box in it and also warranty the engine when he tells them he is going to the ring etc... He was running 8:15 BTG times in it hitting 178mph last week and said BMW still warranty the thing!!!! Imagine Maserati doing that? Hahaha yeah right....
