not a good picture... but they ran too fast... and my DC is too slow...
They followed the F360 Chanllenger series race for the 1st lap...
man, they are both very close to the F360s! both in straight speed and cornering speed (surprise for a automatique mercedes on track!)
their ride height is stock though scratch.em
their muffler pipe looks stock too but they are loud! as lond as a stock F360.
But they don't sound like V8 at all scratch.em
when they lap by, everyone in the track hears their exhaust note thumbup.em
what did they done to their exhaust system? resonator off? muffler opened?
just sounddddddd great!
anyone got some info on them? i really want to know what they did to make it so fast in the corner and why they are so loud...
they also did 2 lap at extreme speed before the F1 race starts, to check out the condition of the track i guess...
are they mercedes sent drivers? they had both car in their extreme limit... else they are very very good drivers...
and both car look awsome thumbup.em

and her is the C55 exiting the corner...
sorry for such late movie... because i dunno when are they coming out on the track... else i'll let my DC ready for rollin. cry.em
Surprise vehicle laps/pace the track: 2 Honda elements, 1 Pilot, 1 luxery GT coach bus, 1 public transit bus, 1 cargo, 1 flatbed, they all lapped pretty at their extreme too haha, peope are laughing when they corner by hilarious.em
