3 Laps of Laguna Seca by Black Series Chief Engineer

MJ50 is your photographer. The driver was Arnd Meyer, chief engineer of the black series programs. The Car, a red CLK63 Black Series

This was posted earlier but pulled to take some heat from the home office off the Black Series engineers while they were at Laguna Seca.

Another post has the PBOX data here
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...st-mortem.html


Ask MJ50 about the details.

Cool video, was it just me or were his lines a little (a lot) off? I saw him turn in early at least 5 times.

He was turning in early to kick out the rear end and drift the whole turn.

...hmmm, not really the fastest way around the track, but I'm sure it made for a fun ride. The car sticks just fine going into a turn and the car has more than enough throttle to get the back end turned without needing to unload the suspension (which is esentially what early turn in does). It looks and sounded like you had a blast.

No early turn in does not unload the suspension. The car has no idea if it's turned in early or late. What it does is make you drop the throttle to keep the car on the track and THAT unloads the suspension
