RE: Chris Harris video: BMW M3 DTM

[monthefish]

Chris - does it ever feel a bit, well, weird I suppose, that the bosses of such functions (like the BMW DTM team for example) will have been heavily researching you (and probably watching many of your previous videos) prior to deciding you are good enough to be offered a shot of driving the car?

"Bruno says the real tricky bit is finding the last 4-5 tenths"

I think "Bruno" was a little peeved at an 'amateur' getting so close to his lap time.

Nice one Chris.

I can left foot brake, but not consistently at those pressures......

Why are the pedal loads so high? I can't see any reason they need to be?

No servo.
because RACECAR

Can I just say I'm really puzzled by some of the posts on this thread. Why leafblowers? What does BOX mean? Have all the real Pistonheads been replaced by 2 litre Diesel drivers who never watch motorsport???

Race to the oily bottom, it seems sometimes.

I suspect, as fellow racers and enthusiasts, they'll have been watching for fun along with the rest of us.

Watching motorsport is generally quite boring.

And I love the economy of my 2 litre diesel. (It means I have more money to pay for trackdays and fuel for the 911).

I'm sorry I'm not a real Pistonheader.
