No Aero, No Problem! 2023 BMW M2 SCCA Time Trial Nationals NCM - Project M2 TA

[@ChinTrack]

Uncle Danny intro is epic 😂

[@bobsupra9928]

right

[@JonesWatchShop]

We need to get some exterior flybys every once and awhile, just want to hear the m2 fly by!

[@JackieDing86]

I’d love that but really hard to do without a designated cameraman hah

[@dp.mk7419]

I never knew Danny was your uncle, he has helped me with learning how to drive fast in autox and I was shocked to see him on here😂

[@JackieDing86]

We’re not blood related so he’s only my metaphorical uncle 🤣

[@thecarjourney]

Was a great weekend hanging out with you. Thanks for the support and looking forward to progress on the M2. -Tom

[@jwrski]

Was a pleasure to meet you, and great driving. Enjoyed tryng to chase you around on the practice laps. Fought my car and tires all weekend. Thanks again for the suggestions on setup. Will be reaching out to you guys on some CRS's. Another great video, thanks.

[@sooyster4033]

What about that track huh! Bizarre looking, but must be so much fun! Great job Jackie keep it up!!

[@adamlambert3892]

Great job Jackie

[@BruBrusmayhem]

Awesome man. Your videos help me wait for my M2 allocation hahaha. I have a december build date, no VIN yet but it's comin :O Keep it up !!

[@racingmaniacgt1]

amazing Danny Kao opening

[@Flyin_Viata]

Thanks for these videos, Jackie...watching a much more competent driver leads to better, cleaner, more consistent and ultimately faster laps!

[@femmefataleracer]

great season JD….congrats, id love to see your award collection thus far on ig!

[@bobstarr]

just a great video, now I'm waiting for next season :)

[@foxbatmotorsports]

Was very unexpected to see you there. Such an honour.

[@Elmanret]

Loving your videos Jackie!

[@abdu8745]

This was an awesome series to watch. Sad that winter is around the corner 😒

[@gabem8119]

@Jackie Ding - PhD Racing OMG I’ve met your uncle at SCCA AX’s this season! He’s a great instructor.

[@DirtBikeSessions]

Great driving…liked the intro😂

[@ch_chone]

We need Danny Kao in more of your intros!

[@huytt67]

Can't wait until next mods, M2 looking so good, i want one lol

[@Bones12x2]

The car seems so balanced. Im impressed by how minimal your steering inputs need to be.

[@JackieDing86]

Yea, we definitely got the car pretty balanced with the non-aero setup!

[@ISMarco]

Nice job! Question -- what straps are those that go over the tires, and how do you like them?

[@pacoflyer]

I think you might be able to upload the BMW M3 CS Gearbox and steering tune and rear Diff setttings as hardware is not changed between m3 and CS and reports are that its much better and still 100% BMW. Not a "tune" as engine is untouched but everybody says gearbox is much improved. I plan to use a similar service on my m3.

[@johncasco8320]

David Marcus is a great dude he comes to a local Autox here In Florida

[@JackieDing86]

He’s a great friend and customer of ours! Freaking wheelman!

[@STDemonz]

Can’t wait to see a big wing on this car

[@Calebj18]

Would love to come work for you guys in the shop and get alongside PhD Racing and help you guys get more and more time on track

[@TheUnicornblood]

Here bc of world famous Danny Kao 😂🙌🏻👍🏻

[@bobsupra9928]

Love it and of course Uncle Danny who is my hero. Car is sounding great. I KNOW you are not but the video makes it seem like you are coasting in parts. weight and High power make it so much maint throttle i guess.

[@aj23dsm]

How do you mount that camera on your helmet. Would like to see that set up.

[@hooptie157]

“Wildwood for what?!?!” 😂 laughed out loud at that.

[@FoodFighter46]

That mechanical grip is insane

[@nodrogkam]

Lets goooo good work!

[@AC16]

Cool video, i still domt understand why scca penalizes you for rollbar and seats in an autox car, if you want to do both TT and autox you wont be competitive in one or the other. Is heads up display stock? Want to bring my gts4.0 out there

[@typer765]

I clicked when I saw an M2, and stayed when I saw Uncle Danny.

[@Stepo901]

Hi Jackie, how many hot laps do you manage to complete on a single set of cr-s? And how they compare to A052 in term of wear? Let me know! As they are coming on EU market in 2024!

[@JackieDing86]

On our Supra, being very frugal with the amount of laps I do, we managed to last a full season, 5 comp events on one set lol. I think the wear on the CRS is better than the A052.

[@Stepo901]

@@JackieDing86 impressive! Yeah, maybe you are not doiny so many laps but you are always over the limit of the tyre! Thanks for feedback, I'll try for sure

[@Clark_R]

I swear one of these videos, the inside of that windshield is gonna be clean. Looks like ya vape in the thing, lol.

[@jalloor]

You should invest in tire warmers for times like these.

[@hunter5695]

what wheels do you have on the car?

[@JackieDing86]

The wheels setup used in the video is here! phdracing.store/collections/bmw-m2-g82-wheels/products/bmw-g8x-19x11-squared-wheel-track-setup

[@erictsaikiki]

Taiwanese uncle? Cool. Come to Taiwan Lihpao track...I can let you drive my car...

[@dacianmuntean]

do you use the m4 gt4 wheels?

[@JackieDing86]

No but we made our own spec wheels similar to the M4 GT4 specs. We have 18x11s coming as well. phdracing.store/products/titan-7-phd-spec-bmw-g8x-19x11-forged-non-staggered-wheels?ToPasteBoard&

[@dacianmuntean]

@@JackieDing86 18x11s would be the best considering the slick tires avalaible .

[@JackieDing86]

@@dacianmuntean for sure. We made the 19x11 for more street tire options, but 18x11 is on the way and hopefully soon. Stay tuned.

[@murdoch9106]

So next year Jackie will beast everyone plastered out of his little socks! With his magical beer mug! Got it! lol Amazing driving as always, this new Supra ... I mean, BMW... seem to be really good so far, excited to see it progress even further next year!

[@ravenstylea2]

Can you do a video comparing the benefits and drawbacks of moving from the Supra to the M2?

[@JackieDing86]

This will likely be a video this winter during the off season!

[@enricobarbato6838]

TC level = 6? Or 0? Thanks

[@JackieDing86]

In this video TC at 6

[@kern417]

what aspects put it in the wrong class?

[@JackieDing86]

The spherical bushings in the SPL control arms. I believe adjustable arms are legal, but SCCA insists that any non-factory spherical bearings make the car a Max-class car.

[@kern417]

@@JackieDing86 ah dang. That sucks

[@EricTsu]

dang this powertrain seems like it rips 24/7 but man its ugly. would be curious to you or see someone strip this chassis to a much lighter weight to see the dynamics

[@AC16]

Do you still drive this on the street?

[@Firstneko1]

Your driving has improved. You used to lose time coming out of corners. You look a lot smoother now.

[@ANDERSON110]

Do you miss tracking the Supra?

[@JackieDing86]

Yes and no. That car is SOOO OP. Like at this point I know it so well that I don't feel like I'm learning much driving or tracking it anymore. I know its strengths (high speed stability and turn in sharpness) and its weaknesses (trailbraking and some electronics) that it becomes a little hard to break the mold so to speak. That's why we started fresh with the M2, to take what we learned on the Supra and make this even better.

[@ANDERSON110]

@@JackieDing86 You should run for political office 🤣 So your plan is to make the M2 as competitive as the Supra? Assuming doing it in small enough steps that PHD Racing gets some sales off of 'stage' type packaging? Could you take one of the Spage Sports fender vents off the Supra, let me see if I can make them work on my Viper, and then I'll send it back? 😘

[@TeamCupNoodles-nn9og]

Needed a shalom in the autox to slow down the fast cars

[@JackieDing86]

This would’ve been fun, agreed

[@juan2k999]

lol. Danny has more car changes then people change underwear! what fault poped up at the end of your last lap?

[@JackieDing86]

I think it's a brake wear sensor. We changed brake pads but never got around to replacing the actual sensor so every now and then the car gets unhappy hah

[@juan2k999]

@@JackieDing86 ah got ya. Guess you seen it pop before lol it would have blown my concentration

[@JackieDing86]

TBH i didn't even notice it until editing the video haha

[@juan2k999]

🤣🤣@@JackieDing86

[@abegetchell]

The Supra would have smoked them - should have stuck with that. 😀

[@JackieDing86]

It would've been really close, hah

[@stevepeters3032]

Listen to those tyres. What a heavy pig for a track car. At least you can afford all the worn tyres Jackie 😂

[@JackieDing86]

By that metric I should throw on slicks because then they won't squeal! lol

[@noceilingsmotorsports]

Get that mechanical grip dialed so you can put a thick wang and a splitter on that bad girl😎😁👌🏾 *side note* Do they make sprint booster/pedal commanders for the M2?

[@JackieDing86]

You wouldn't need a pedal commander when the OEM Sport Plus mode does the same thing lol
