so umm an M3 would've won this match in winter and M5 would've embarrassed the AMG based on what I saw.

Or the driver of the Integra was Stig and AMG was Caption Slow .


Yes I did notice -AMG followed all the cones.

Not sure what your trying to get at here the video is clearly purely for fun theres not some small **** syndrome "race" going on here?


What annoys me the most about finding videos like this on youtube is you do a search for track videos and the majority are americans drag racing on the quarter mile.... Yeah thats fun and all its just annoying that there arent many videos of these cars on proper road courses and what we overseas call track days....

Yeah they are probably not the best tool but they do just fine if setup properly imo.

His car control is pretty good as well. I track my car all the time and it's always the BMW guys coming up to check the Merc out

I would say the control was very good. I would like to see your average E55 driver whip their car around a freezing cold track like that. I've done it...first time last time

Is there a Part 2 when Ken Block steps out of the driver seat? LoL.

Pretty skilled for whipping a heavy car like that with full control.

oh ! I mis-judged that -I thought the driver was actually trying to set a

good time but due to weather and being rear wheel drive, car was not

manageable.

Thanks
