The thing I find so funny about this video are the types of cars on the track. We think of this track as the exclusive domain of the fastest cars in the world. But in this video there were mini vans and I could have sworn I saw a delivery truck. It is like people just like to cruise around the track.

Jesus he was flogging the crap out of that engine. Seemed like he was leaving it between 6-7k for the majority of the lap. Same amount of torque is available much earlier than that...

Wow that track was challenging, and with all the cars, you would figure there would be some bumpers kissing. He did keep the revs high and I was surprised how many times the car got loose.

He was going for power, not torque. He could have use a higher gear because of the abundant torque but I guess he wanted to slide the car a little more ;-)

Technically it is a toll road for public use.

Sound inside the car was underwhelming? Was it?

Yes, having driven the F90 on a track I can tell you the sound is underwhelming. It is very quiet inside the car(it is a luxury sedan) and even outside the car the F90 is not very loud/aggressive sounding. I will tell you all that torque and power is pure bliss on the track though.

Nice video and it looks like the M5 was moving! It did look somewhat like wrestling an alligator around the track as while the car is fast it is heavy and the steering really requires some serious sawing. Agreed also that it looks like the other fast cars had the day off! Excellent multi purpose vehicle.

When your on track, you are always high rpm. You are not short shifting to keep the rpms low.

This is great--he did a great job controlling the car at those speeds on this track and sounded good--I like the way pretty much everyone jumped out of his way on approach
