G20 330i race car (VT2 Class at the Nürburgring)

Gotta love seeing another VT2 330i out on the ‘Ring. I love seeing the details in their videos because it’s impossible to get this level of coverage from the other teams. Should be to keep up with.

Not sure if these videos are going to embed after posting from the app.

I took these on a VLN/NLS/RCN practice day this past April.

Like Misha said, everything is pretty much stock outside of the front calipers, beefed up suspension components and safety items.

Interesting to see if it requires some extra cooling, particularly for the gearbox and diff. M cars are usually significantly beefed up in this regard.

I guess it’s because it started off as a run of the mill street car. A street car that will be driven all out for 4+ hours on a very demanding track…

What is not stock under the hood? It looks like the blue tube is not stock, right?

That’s my point, if it’s a fully stock drivetrain will it have enough cooling..

I think so, however they have camber plates and supporting suspension in order to accomadate that side of a tire.
