BMW M2: Pic Of The Week

An evocative and inspirational view of Wales ... with Snowdonia in the background

For its press photos for the M2 the team at BMW UK went to the trouble of hiring Anglesey Circuit and sliding the car around in clouds of tyre smoke so we didn't have to.

But we wanted to.

And at the weekend we joined our track day partners BookaTrack at Anglesey on a stunning spring day with a fantastic fleet of cars, one of which just happened to be a manual BMW M2 in its rather lovely signature Long Beach Blue. As designated grown-up yours truly sent a fierce email to the PH team ahead of the event advising there were no spare tyres to drive home on and skidfoolery in the M2 would have to be kept to a minimum. Self discipline would need to be exercised!

You can see how well that went. Still, makes for a nice desktop pic - and a five fun-packed seconds of footage...
