Track Day Pics
I thought it would be cool to have a thread for the track guys to post or relocate track day pics in one place. List the track/location. These shots were taken in April at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia.

That’s correct, a tip I picked up from a GTS driver last year. We know that Mercedes will not let us fully defeat the accident avoidance measures. As a fellow attorney, you know why..... This actually works for me. We use metal tape to block the sensors. At least on Distronic cars the Merc star is the primary sensor, but I tape over all of the sensors on the front end.

It’s a shame that when in Race mode you can’t fully turn off ABA as it is a real danger on a race course. Luckily it is fully defeatable on the GTRs.

Indeed.
Can you tell me metal tape brand? Seems like it would set off sensor.

Bringing up an old thread but why not.
A bunch of local guys rent the whole track for the day twice a year- this was last year @ Toronto Motorsports park.
I have raced this track in a Shelby GT350, audi R8, and now the GTS.
For comparison
Best Gt350 lap time was a 1:20.36 (Michelin sport cup 2 tires)
Best Audi R8 lap time was a 1:19.63 (Michelin sport cup 2 tires)
Best AMG GTS lap time was a 1:19.19 (Michelin pilot sport 4S tires)

I ran at Laguna on Apr 14th. I ran the GTR completely stock w/o any track prep for 20mins, and the rest of the day I ran my track prepped M3. Very different cars in how they drive.
