Eurocharged C43 Wagon at Silverstone

Hi guys. If you want to see my 2019 Wagon stage 1 being driven quickly at Silverstone , and also driven rapidly on some quiet country roads,
Check out some of my YouTube videos below:

Apart from the EC V3 it has the factory AMG PE.
The RFs are not great on track as you can see! But it was great fun. A fair bit slower then the McLaren 720s, 488 Pista , stage 2 GTR and GT3 RS I went out in earlier !

Was the M4 you were following for a bit tuned? Seemed to pull away against you pretty easily.

Think he had a DMS map.
Stock M4 would be faster at higher speeds than my stage 1 Estate anyway- bit more bhp or similar, but less weight and less drag.
I was only going about 7/10 as overheated the tyres one the 1st run when my chasing my mates stage 2 GTR in the 1st video.
Was a fun day, those RFs are **** on track though!

Yeah I can imagine, they suck on the road too. Who did you book the track day with? I'm only a short trip on the M1 away from silverstone and would love to give it a go.

We have a large FB car group car for friends/ colleagues, do a lot of track trays. Just search Silverstone track days online , they're on till December ! Full F1 Pit access / usage ( obviously minus the crew) .

Tbh it was more the high speed turns where he created a gap on me, not so much the straights.
On track it's all about carrying speed through the corners.
The narrow 225s on the front really hamstring it on the track. Merc- AMG obviously didnt want the AWD C43 having too much grip to the trouble the C63 .
The M4 was also running much sticker non RF tyres and 255 up front. Same as my rears.
