M5 Drifting on the Wet Skidpad

Palbay · 11-06-2008, 12:24 AM

Caught these vids of an M5 on the BMW PC wet skidpad.What caught my eye was the single car (most classes are multiple cars) and the extraordinary car control of the driver.To my surprise.....the driver was none other than Jim Clark,Chief Driving Instructor,at the BMW Performance Driving School.He saw me taking vids and pulled over to talk after he finished.A very very nice person.....he was actually testing new suspension setups for the M5 on the wet skidpad.I told him he had the best job on the planet,he laughed,and agreed!!!!! He offered me a free hop on the track in an M3 or M5.....I will take him up on his offer.Thanks! PalBay PS..turn up the volume so you can here that V10 http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/64590...09601695_U2xeN
