You guys looked good in the rain with the AWD in the M5s. We had to take it slow on day 2. I am planning to go back this or next year for lapping in M5s.
I head to Sweden end of next month for 4 days of Level 3 snow and ice training, and looking forward to the M850 at the Ring in the fall (doubt M8 will be available).

My M5 group had 2 inexperienced M5 owners (despite the pre-req being a previous Ring course, as BMW allowed them to sign up), but the MxDrive still made them look good in the rain.

The Ring gas station owner told me that only € 10,000 was spent in gas during our training dates, as usually in dry weather the petrol bill is around € 18,000. Also told that MB is notorious for being excessively late with payment for their Ring track training events petrol bill.
