I got signed off at New Hampshire last October, it is a great feeling. Most of my instructors have been amazed what a properly set up e34 can do!

I would keep using instructors, the more feedback you get from different sources will hone your driving skills!

Saturday: Weather report: rain
I put the new toyos to the front thinking that it will be raining the whole weekend.

It didn't rain the whole day (sweet)
My instructor was really nervous with my driving, he told me that I drive verrrry fast for this kind of heavy car (hehehe). And that I was following the other drivers too close.
Well, I worked on that. The day went by and my front left bearing start to sing now.
Then my instructor took me around the track with his car: Dodge Viper... DAMN this is fast!

Sunday: weather report: rain all day
Rain in the first session.
A guy in our group destroyed his E30 325i.. Sad day
That slow me down for... 1 session then I was back in the gas like a crazy Frenchman I am.
My instructor signed me off the last two sessions he told me "Bruno, you will be able to go faster is I am not in the car stressing you out and asking you to slow down" SWEET, time to follow the E34 M5...

Results, the car set-up is perfect, the brakes powerful and now I need track tires, sway bars and strut bar.

Repair after the track: wheel bearings.
Report of the headgasket: the headgasket is fine and the car is definitively more POWERFUL...


'89 535i hummmmm
