. @Twin Turbo your welcome to put your stuff in garage 9 for the day.
I will check it out I think it is
Brief visit today to Croft, had a nice chat with Twin Turbo, also watched him on track blowing away a Jaguar F type coupe, hes no road block. Once again saw Brian on track and his Car in the garage but no Brian (Hes more illusive than the stig!)
Watched for a bit then couldn't resist the lure of the Yorkshire moors quite a test after messing with the brakes. The car performed admirably.
Silverstone round the corner with a trip to Newark in between lets hope the sun keeps shining.

Had a great day - @Brian H top chap meet at scotch courner on Sunday evening - with his son. I was slow to start with my times improving dramatically. Started at 2:02 then constantly hitting 1:57. But in the last session got down to 1:54. As I was hunting down an e92 m3 and got him on the last lap. That that made my day. However currently stuck at Weatherby service station - after an rest started the car and drove 10 Mtrs as an engine warning light turned on so Bmw assist on route as an engine warning light cam on and a error code I was unable to determine what the issue was. So I have removed my engine mods and waiting for the man to turn up - hope it's not serious.
Looks like it's been taken to main dealers

Good to meet you @Twin Turbo, really glad you enjoyed your day, a great improvement from start to finish
Sorry to hear of you engine light though, hope it's something simple.
So sorry I missed you again Paul, I did see your car and even hung around a while but could not see you, thanks for coming along though.

Update.....
Looks like a faulty sensor had an full system check and its all great. However interesting comments of my melted tyres from track use
Well as previously said I was improving, and to be honest there is a not more still to improve - I got my sights on this M3 and I wanted to catch him.
My brakes did take some stick, but after @Brian H I might no drive in Sport+ mode but in DSC OFF mode - as my rear pads were heavly used - as i think its to do with the stabilisation.
Below is an video of my best two laps

Good work on the driving Q, so glad the warning light was not something too sinister, hope you'll be back
running with the DSC off will help save the rear brake pads, on a day like we had there is so much grip you can easily get away without the DSC running.I'll hopefully get my video processed later on today.
