M4 GTS vs Other M cars at track

Also this GTS is driven on track in no aero mode, 2kg front 4 rear @200km/h, thats street mode aeroeffect and high street setup.

Its only a nice talk about the car and I also like they pay attention and mention car would for sure do better if aero (If It was set for track) would come in to play aswell chassi in to track mode setting.

If only them other tester out would be so smart like these guys-to mention a thing or 2 so we know. God work.

That is a short track so approx 2 sec is a huge difference!

Agree. And If the car was set up for track It would be even faster. That major thing was a thing many car testers did miss out on... Clarkson, Chris H, and many more.

Rule of thumb is that R-Comps are worth 1~2 seconds per minute lap

Not sure why BMW would provide this car for reviews without setting it up for track. Porsche does the same with the Turbo S, always providing it to reviews with the street happy PZero's. Frustrating, but the GTS still murdered everything here.
