This is wild… I imagine going back to the early 90’s when I was 6-8 years old and wore out “Formula One: Built to Win” on Nintendo. From Nintendo to racing virtual cars on laser scanned tracks against the current F1 champ… Seriously, how cool is this?!

Sorry Dave despite not being a Max fan at all, that was pure racing brilliance.

[@davecamyt]

Agreed 😁

[@marklittle8805]

​@@davecamythe is aggressive in ways you are not. Which is fitting why he is in F1. He has mastered the art of passing when people least expect it and just taking your corner away. Brilliant stuff....(Even though he annoys me)

[@kantina4765]

@@marklittle8805I’ve always thought this, sim racers are so unbelievably timid. Probably due to the lack of situational awareness of monitors combined with less control over the car than the pros. but it’s true, real life racers do things every day that would get most i racers yelling over voice chat.

Doesn't always work like that, though. Like the race a few weeks ago against Ollie where he whinged that Ollie had taken him out when he'd taken himself out with a similar move.

[@tekenator]

With Max behind me, I would have gone straight into the wall with a smile on my face lol.

[@MrGc6asl]

People in the comments complaining about Verstappen... 2 inc for that race starting last. I have received more inc points on the warmup lap in top split than he got overtaking the entire field. Anyways, looks like this car can take some wheel banging and still be fine. Interested to see the mayhem on lower splits cause it seems like the car is a lot less forgiving than the MX-5.

[@davecamyt]

He's a machine 😁

[@PR1NCETD0T]

Mx-5 as bad as that car likes to spin, is much easier to drive than the M2.

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

the car is a tank, had people crash full on my suspension and it would still drive okay, definitely made for wheel banging, not made for the iRacing inc system though

Way I'd look at it, is he taught you how to take that corner! You changed your entry approach and went quicker!

His lines were so pure and perfect! I couldn't believe it!

[@RacingAnt]

Max's pass was clean. Nobody spun. Nobody got an off-track. Nobody picked up an incident point. Typical Max move. Very hard racing. Highly skilled. Right on the blurry side of the rules. Judging that contact so it's 0x, and not spinning anyone, is what separates Max from all the others that think they're fast.

[@nicholase6552]

Wait what? Dave was fully off the curb and there was contact.

While you were flailing about trying to control the car, that MV guy poetically used all of the inside apex and all of the outside in his turns! His lines were so perfect! What an android! It was like watching Sophy! (But your're still an awesome sim racer! At least you're human.)

[@davecamyt]

There are levels for sure 😁

[@billyweb8846]

I didn't see a problem with Max's move. Many drivers can try to be aggressive but 'clinically' aggressive, that's a different level.

[@MegaIronica]

Lol pushing someone to pass is fine for you? That's why sim racing has gone to s**t. Hell, even real racing is like that for some people 😂

[@skltr21]

[@noduj]

While it wasn't anything major, he would've been punished for that in a real race.

[@notdreadyet33]

He is using every single last bit of track. And he knows the exact limit of these brands new cars probably with no practice. It's nuts. Dave is legit very fast, Max caught him and started putting Seconds on him in no time.😅 Is everyone just using stock setups for these?

I agree. I wish a more of the slower cars had advanced series with a A or B license requirement. It would probably make for some excellent racing. I'd love to see the F-4 and this car get one.

[@AdamB5000]

It makes more sense if this is a D car and the GR86 is a rookie car. I feel like the braking and turn-in is numb, but I feel that for many GT cars. I need to sort it out. Aside from that personal issue I have, this car is a lot of fun. It's very alive under some braking situations, and very much alive mid-corner and exit, depending on how aggressive you are. Good stuff.

[@chasewd5117]

[@Geodriver22]

Dave you could not have sounded anymore British when you said you got punted by Max. It was good hard racing that is all

[@Kultivater]

Yeah I've driven it a little bit. Haven't done an actual race in it. It is my experience that it feels a lot like the g82 M4 gt4. The loose rear end is definitely shared between both of them. Honestly it surprises the hell out of me that they made this a rookie car, being that the Toyota gr 86 is a d-class car yet the M2 is faster than the gr86. If anything, they should have made the gr86 rookie and the m2 d class. Anyway, the g82 M4 GT4 is my favorite GT4 car by far now, so I'm sure that the M2 is going to be quite fun to drive in.

[@Django45]

BMW feels great. in fixed pretty tame but tailhappy otherwise. Somehow feels like a Porsche GT4 with the way you can use transition to gas toget more rotation mid corner towards exit, given you brake early and enough to use that. I found that trying to trailbrake deep was more understeery than that method. It will definitely be a popular rookie car. it is tamer on brakes and livelier on gas, polar opposite of the mazda that is mostly touchy on brakes but understeery on gas. I just hope this car replaces the BMW M4 GT4 in PCC next season, as it seems they did not do it this one. It will fit there way better than the GT4

Tires are low grip. They give up at the first hint of brakes and you have to be careful running with DSC "OFF" as it will spin up the rears. Most of the incidents were people out braking themselves. It's probably about the most enjoyable new car I've driven on iRacing in the last 2 years.
