Very cool.

I wouldn't kick any one of them out of bed, er, the garage.

What happened to that Z8 safety car? Accident?

amrazM · 12-14-2018, 07:54 PM

The z8 is undeniably cool but I just Love a 1M.

uniqueMR · 12-14-2018, 08:23 PM

Very nice

I used to work as the "communicator" in the box at the apex of Turn 8 at Laguna Seca (yes, the corkscrew), calling safety conditions for race control on a dedicated landline. It was amazing to see the Dorna guys come screaming at full speed in the Safety Cars.

When Rossi passed Casey Stoner on the dirt in 2008, I calmly keyed my mic and said, "Control, turn 8. 46 off and on." My headset blew up with a room full of people screaming and all I heard was, "OH YEAH, that was off and on!"

they used the M4 exhaust note as wobble for the track. impressive sound engineering skills.

1M FTW

I saw the new M5 at the Valencia MotoGP, in the rain...monster.
That's my favorite.
