Yes, I raced my B10 V8S against two M5 E39, an M3 E46 cab, an almost brand new 335i, a B10 E34 4.6 and a B10 BiTurbo. Pretty interesting races...

And a small correction. The Lotus Omega has about 31.000 km on the clock.

How did it went whit the stock 335i?

Great to have you here! That Lotus Omega was stunning, thanks alot for participating! We did have alot of nice races, esp. there at the end as well! Also, I really like the colour (very rare 5-series standard colour, right?) , the B10 V8S looked very elegant!

WOW!!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Gustav. Yes, we had a nice race there in the end. I must say your M5 goes pretty good. The color is called slate-green metallic and doesn't seem to be that common on Alpinas.

I won the race against the 335i fairly clear, but I am not sure it is all that representative. It was his first race and he seemed a little bit unsure about the track. Later he drove fairly even with the M3 E46 cab, which I did also, so it should indicate that the difference is not that big. You will see it on the videos when they are comming.

The races between the Lotus Omega and the B10 BiTurbo was also an interesting classical one. Actually the Lotus had problem with the grip even from rolling start in 2nd gear. Later when it had completely dried up (and my brother had learned to control the throttle on the Lotus) they drove three races in straight row, and even though they were close all of them ended the same...

The last races where really fun

Annoyingly my battery died on my camera when we did the very last run with the B10 BiTurbo and me sitting in the Lotus Omega if I recall correctly, but the last races where great
