    One of very few channels where I enjoy watching 50+ minute videos. I find racing at this level entertaining and interesting, as it's far more relatable than the upper echelons of motorsport.
    Great driving of a similarly superb car. E46 M3 is just so right.

      Yeah as a low level competitor (autotest, karting, nav rallies) and someone that used to service for people a lot at races and rallies, the service area/pitlane atmospheres bring a lot of joy and nostalgia. And then the racing brings the buzz (and a slight semi when it goes well).

    Fantastic drive Dan. The 1:47.04 following the 2nd safety car restart was so smooth...
