awesome, thanks for posting.

As i did my first real track event recently in the M5, comparing the 2 Day M school to a HPDE is like apples and oranges and if you enjoyed the HPDE stick with more events like these.

Driving your M5 and getting comfortable in your car is much more worthwhile IMO as compared to the M school. Yes M school is good for car control and learning how to drive in MDM mode, but it encompasses lots of different things that are not M5 related and you are driving M3s and M6s. Skid pad and figure 8s are fun but having done both, I learned a lot more driving at high speeds in my own M5 at an HPDE.

You did appear to be less aggressive on throttle/braking and turning in a little late, but this is coming from someone who went through his front and rear rotors/pads in a 2 day track session (per the dealer invoice, each front rotor cost is $501, front pads were $438 which is ridiculous)
