Sub-8 BTG Nürburgring: SEAT Leon Cupra ST 280 chases BMW M3 E36 track car

[@CarachoChris]

after looking enough other videos from car guys with the 5F Cupra 280 at the ring it must be said : Your driving skills are awesome !!! Stunning lap dude...Can't wait to get my ST Cupra and bring it on track. See you at the ring mate . Cheers

[@pedrosousa7877]

Minute 7:06... that's some driving!!! Keep them coming Dale!

[@Maody66TV]

Very good driving, Dale! **thumbs up**

[@corradotox]

Amazing driving! I love too see the differences between your racing lines on a FWD and your mate's on a RWD. Superb driving both, that was fun to watch.

[@KostadinDelizhanski]

good power, but the understeer ... your mate in the e36 sure had more fun

[@mbardos]

I noticed in the first corners, he had to correct, it was actually lift-off oversteer...

[@hungrymynd5673]

Amazing driving skills but man that m3 looks effortless... graceful!

[@hoisthanger1586]

If I ever achieve my dream of making it to the ring, I want you as my ring-taxi!

[@lifeonbicycles]

3:53 was a bit scary

[@hansmena6206]

Wonderful driving! this track is unique :) I usually play it in simulators, but this video demonstrate the true skills that a driver may have... thank you for sharing. Regards from Chile.

[@Malteser3535]

Imagine driving a 911 GT3 RS on a semi-professional trackday in a part where the tyres are definitely warm and getting overtaken by a Seat is hurting my brain.

[@corradotox]

And after you've been overtaken, you realize that it was a station wagon... :-) some of those GT3 owners might have sold their car the following day, LOL

[@konekoray9323]

I feel being passed by a "city car" in a Porsche would be fairly demoralizing. Part of why I love FWD cars. Nobody gives them the respect they deserve, and nobody expects them to be fast. Oh but I assure you, they can be bloody fast. FWD-FTW

[@ryancox6231]

Excellent as always Mr. Lomas, still, I think you should bring back the black M5 to the fleet... great car.

[@MrPaseante]

cool to see how you´ve been adapting your driving to the fwd car. You can tell the difference from the prwvious videos, you give harder steering inputs to make the car go into the corner as you should, great lap and very good driving...still dont undrstand why you doulbe clutch but is all good if ti works for you. cheers

[@Tomskii5]

I was about to say why the hell did you pass via the right. Then I saw it was a trackday so it doesn't matter. Although it still became a tricky situation :P

[@bestofblocket]

Does the Cupra ST have an oil cooler? Remember you talked about the high oil temp on a previous video. After all, it is a stock car and 135 degrees Celsius is in the top range..(?) but I guess it's working as design :) Your vlogs are great, man! Greetings from Schweden

[@mbardos]

Overtaking Porsche in a family hatch: priceless :D

[@hax0r117]

I love these vids... The SEAT looks great, Dale! I'm a huge E36 fan as well, it was cool watching you run with your friend. What ever happened to your E36 328i? Do you miss it?

[@GertSterner]

Wouw! That was fast! :-) And very fun to watch! Thanks for sharing! -)

[@adamandersson9663]

ROFL at 00.24 that's exactly how I felt on my first trackday with the M3 e46 :D SO FUN!

[@googleuser2082]

wish I could drive my Cupra like that haha

[@NathanSijpkes]

Nice lap dale

[@theongothic182]

1.2G to the corners? HOLY CRAP. any mods?

[@pailote67]

Great lap! Do you have the brakes delivered with the performance package? Or an upgrade?

[@MrFreddan72]

Great video!! Have you done anything to the car or is it standard? What tires do you use?

[@danielfl.9347]

That is very well done!

[@Oockeshoek]

+Daniel San Got here via CarThrottle? :3

[@danielfl.9347]

Yeeees indeed sir!

[@slapsak1]

may i ask you, what kind of camera are you using? please give me al details, i want to make movie like this. Thank you Bro. never lift off :D

[@kristoKR-zj8oi]

i watched it very carefully but didnt understand is the bmw faster around corners or not.?

[@JamesYoung61]

Dale what tyres did it have on it? You mark the video #3/3 suggesting that the tyres had already had 2 previous laps on them, there can not have been much of them left after that run. Great video.

[@BTGDale]

James Young Pilot Sport Cup 2s, done about 20 laps now, so time to switch them front/back and get another 20 laps :)

Thumbs up driving!

[@CTitoRacing]

Great lap! Which app do you use in your iphone to get data?

[@Chingman]

Dale, love the vids and your driving is immense! But I have a question, Im curious as to why you double clutch down shift (from what I can see/assume in the vid) as oppose to traditional heel-toe? Keep up the great work!

[@alivekicking6247]

Appears to be rev-matched sustained downshifts. Double de-clutching is for 70s cars and older without synchromesh.

[@ThaMythbuster]

If that's an M3 why does it have 3 digits on the back? Unless it's got a trunklid from a different car that's not an M3, that's a modified 328i at most. About 100hp down on an M3...

[@MarchuxProductions]

+Mythbuster It doesn't have the M3 bodykit either, so it must be a 328i or less. Which honetly makes the Seat look bad, since it barely keeps up with an old car that has nearly 100hp less.

[@BTGDale]

Because the owner has a sense of humour and it says 316i on the back. Please read description

[@MarchuxProductions]

BridgeToGantry That'sgood to hear. Otherwise, it'd be a bit embarassing for the Seat, haha

[@ThaMythbuster]

+BridgeToGantry I read the description and it didn't say anything about a 316i badge so whatever... But yeah I guess that makes sense... Don't understand why anyone would put different badging on a real M3 though...

[@B__L]

+MarchuxProductions No car that can do a sub 8 lap looks bad no matter what it's compared to...

[@avelinileva]

m3 is killin it

[@Mr1974tps]

nice to see the 'running in' period is over! 3:50 mins WAKE UP PEOPLE! haha 6:16 poker bails :D great to see the old e36 has still got the run on the new motor!

[@GOMADMOTORS]

Good driving. But driving like this in the morning at 8:44 a.m. is a bit crazy! How was the rest of the day? sub 7? :D

[@ThomasGarrettMotorsport]

Nice Lap!

[@gonzacastro98]

Great video man!! Are you a professional race driver?

[@fsabau]

Gonzalo .Castro He's a taxi driver! :)

[@bestofblocket]

Florin Sabau In Calcutta! :D

[@gonzacastro98]

Florin Sabau what a taxi driver! Jajajaja

[@Tomskii5]

Gonzalo .Castro He mean ring taxi driver ;-) Google ring taxi. It aint no ordinary taxi he drives :P

[@RufioMini]

What on earth was going on at around 3:50? :/

[@tamamboylekalsn]

you are using too much high gear, why? Reason is high tourq or adrenalin?

[@BTGDale]

Muhlis Goktas Good torque and planning ahead to avoid gear changing in corners

[@MrPauloxley]

BridgeToGantry LOL Dale has never driven this track before give him some slack..... ;)

[@PaddyMcQueen]

BridgeToGantry but new turbo engines aren t designed to have low medium torque ?

[@mrwick7961]

that bmw almost caused a serious accident over takin on the right there...

[@B__L]

More like that CRX nearly caused a serious accident by staying to the left for some reason instead of the right. Forcing everyone to either slam on their brakes or pass on the right.

[@NotesofNate]

FWD..early turn in..I wish i could see your throttle and brake

[@Kostak3]

Great

[@X3N.]

Some chase hahahaha , good driving nonetheless

[@B0B_BELCHER]

Sub-301 viewers :D

[@lindalovesmusic9091]

Why do all these lame drivers clog up the track..

[@6moooooo]

If u have DSG it's better

[@Ven0mSRT]

6:22

[@patricesery6893]

ca dépote

[@lockettlv]

Good driving, but using words chasing M3 ... sorry you chased nothing, M3 and your Cupra are two different leauges, that car is 20 years old ... and look how it performs.

[@enakup]

***** LOL so what if its 20 years old if its track made its sport car... More over Cupra is ST (caravan) Eat that one bmw lover... OWNED is shortly what is happening here...

[@JohnDoeAnonyme]

***** that's the game ... No Matter the year, if it's prepared for track ...

[@derbigpr500]

+Kaspars Olehno Leon ST280 is faster around the Nurburgring than the NEW M3, so...
