I'm meeting a few of the VXRonline guys there because the guy with the Astra VXR race car (not Bo Neilson) is doing a test session.

older m3, z4 and the v8 race car bm, they were setting up paddle shift on that car!

Yeah, saw all 3 BMs on track and had a nosey into the garage too. It was more like a test day. Lots of full on race cars. Not so many weekend track warriors. Lot of Porkers too who has stayed on from the Porsche RS day on Friday.

Yeah you are right. The back of the Z4 looks quite similar to a Porche Carrera Cup car.
