A couple of questions, what tyre pressures did you run? do you have adaptive suspension and if so what settings?
Sorry, forgot to mention that. I have the M-adaptive chassis, and I ran it in sport plus all the time. I even found it a little soft, but that was also because of the tires. The side walls are a little soft. Great tire the MPSS, but it's not a track tire.

I started with 2,1 bar, what's that 32? Most tires were up to 2,5 after the session, with the left front up to 3,0 as the most after I pushed too hard.

It's interesting with the brake distance, It's basically the same yet the speeds were quite higher with the M4. A set of track pads and you would really dare to push it further. Brakes were OK yesterday but didn't give me the confidence needed to be able to push.

But yeah, the M4 beats it, from all reports. I look forward to getting home and getting my M4 and tacking to the track.
Yeah, it's a fun car that doesn't get enough credit IMHO. For the money it's absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't mind stripping one and build a proper track car out of it.
