To all the track guys, you may be disappointed-- This is not your typical in car track video.

We went down to VIR with PCA last weekend (nov 7-9), and it was most likely the last time I'll be tracking the e46 (

)-- by spring the dedicated LS1 e36 track car should be up and running. As this was the last event in the e46, I wanted to make a video that was more for memories of tracking the e46 than dedicated track footage. The result is the following half hour (

) of video.

Part 1 is the drive to VIR. The last bit of it is the best

Part 2 is a compilation of video from inside the car and the sidelines. It is not linear in any way, as my friend who was filming could only be at one corner each session. I attempted to make it as cohesive as possible and the turns do come up in the correct order throughout the video, but there are a couple places where cars disappear and reappear later. Limiting by what I had to work with

Part 3 is an entire session straight through, played at 8x speed to keep it interesting. This is the best of the 3 (as the high speed makes everything sound like F1 cars) and should not be missed-- if you watch only one part, watch part 3!

Without further disclaimers, the video. First off, the entire video in high quality (probably requires newest quicktime (free):

Seriously, watch the high quality version!

Great, I'm carsick now.

Seriously though, great video and a fitting tribute to the hardest working M3 on this forum. What's your plan for this car after the E36 racecar is done?

I haven't really figured that out yet. I'm certainly not selling it. It will be doing DD duty for a bit, but I'm really hoping to pick up a daily in the next year or so as well. I'd really like to put the M5 V10 in it, but I'd really like to not be the pioneer in that. Someone in the USA needs to do it first

e46 is here to stay, regardless.
