BMW CCA shared this video with us from their hotlap ride-along at the Coronado Speed Festival in San Diego last weekend in the BMW Motorsport E92 M3 GT2 piloted by Bill Auberlen. The accelerations and speeds are so fast that it makes the action appear sped up (it's not).

Enjoy.

Those flat runway courses marked off with cones seem really difficult for hitting the corners correctly. I don't know, but they seem tricky, I know the autoX courses I tried marked off like that made you spend 30% of your concentration on memorizing the cones as opposed to full concentration on speed.

Had no idea BMW had a presence there. I live right across the water. Would have checked it out.

What a ride that must have been. The sound is pretty incredible!

Did the M4 really beat the GT2 down the straight? Seems a little hard to believe with the race slicks and lighter weight, but is that down to torque?

Keep dreaming. I think the driver was half throttle otherwise he would just light them up and get no where... no traction control unlike the M4.

It was a joke bud. If that GTR doesn't smoke 99.99999% of production vehicles made.....I quit!
