2023 M2 with 5,400 miles
Nearly 6 months since I drove at Laguna, and now I'm back with a bit more seat time under my belt and a slightly different setup. I didn't come with any goals today, except to have fun (which I did). I did still keep time, so I found out I didn't beat PB of 1:39 but surprised I even put in a bunch of low 1:4X laps. What a good car!
I think I am due for pads and rotors soon (probably before the next event, just to be safe). With a few more push-laps strung together today I did experience brake fade but that's to be expected at Laguna and pads that are much less thick than they were before. Hopefully I've saved enough tire for Thunderhill 5 Mile in July!
