two months ago I went to the ring, just to relax. When I walked by Apex, the E46 was parked outside and I had to see it IRL. It's beautiful. George was in the garage came out, and took some time explaining what had been done to the car and what the plan is moving forward. That was so cool in a relaxed atmosphere considering all the "stress" that used to be around the garage when you stopped by just a year ago. Really appreciated he took the time to chat and show me the car.

@@RobertMitchell We was out in almost all taxis multiple times. Also rented multiple cars. Good to hear I was not alone. It felt like everyone is running and chasing numbers. Track closing in 2 minutes, Kathi speaking with the marshal, to get one more guy out. It was always one more. It took one yellow, or track closure to mess up everything. Don't put me wrong I liked all the services. I always wanted to have a chat with Robert, Misha, Dyana, George, Tim or Ice Cold... But it felt like im in a queue all the time. Anyway, changed for the better. Everyone more calm, less stress. Hopefully see you later this year.

I really enjoy your channel and it is great to have you back and active. I am a decent driver for my age (72) but I only driven on track twice and getting a perfect line was not happening. So I may be different from many of your subscribers. What I appreciate is the measured professional approach and the credibility that comes from so many laps in a variety of cars. You are modest in demeanor and the opposite of a narcissistic influencer.

​​@@RobertMitchellMaybe an idea on that topic; You know how TF feels when being in a really fast car and also slower cars. Maybe explain how to behave on overtakes on TF, when to slow down to let someone pass or when to drive in your own speed and let a faster car pass on the next straight. I drive an e87 130i with suspension, brake, seats etc. but of course being a lot slower than e.g. 911 and m3 drivers. Sometimes I get the feeling that I am a bit too reserved and slowing down, staying on the right side too much and it would have been better to just have driven my pace through the section and let them overtake on an straight section a but later. Also because I slowed down the next person will be behind me to get past sooner. Maybe you could give some recommendations on that, not a lot of infos on track behavior that is from a reputable source ;)

As always, really like your approach! A lot of people get lost to more and mire bigger and flashy things to look better in front of others, you build your stuff the way you personally like. I also believe that being the fastest on the ring is not that entertaining in the long run but having a car that feels alive is worth way more in the end. Thats how the e46 will end up I think. As you said, not build for the very best possible lap time but to be a blast to drive. I like to drive my e87 130i with a couple of mods that make it drive and feel nice. I am not the fastest on the ring by far but I have a blast with the manual trans, NA R6 and rwd 👌

Hi Robert, it’s always a pleasure to hear you speak with such insight. I’m the owner of one E36 325i tracktool and I would like to learn more about spring rates, shock travel (should we aim for long or short travel, is it good/bad to see e36/e46 on 3x wheels when cornering) and dependencies with anti roll bars. I always find these topics quite complex. Thanks. Eric

The thing about the cost of stuff like this is when you can see where the money went and why, like some stuff may be practically hand built, and the hours and craftmanship, experience, expertise that have gone into it, you can appreciate it. Just buying an expensive car off the shelf and filming it doesn't show any of that. Often the most interesting bits are in the details, even bits that aren't normally seen - like the underbody stuff on the GT2RS MR.

In the US they are criminally overlooked bc of the engine we got. But, I have to say im addicted to how capable the f80 is on track with very mild modifications. Would love to get your and George’s perspective on what mods made the most difference on the f80/82. Something simple like top ten bang for buck or mod in this order.

Suspension question: how to tune compression / rebound in relation to anti roll bar & tire pressure? My understanding is that suspension tuning is for corner entry and exist, anti roll bar is for mid corner, and tire pressure is quite tricky, a lot of times it just depend on how strong is the side wall. Would love to hear your thoughts!

In depth aero while keeping a clean profile and in depth suspension talk would be very appreciated. The later is what most ppl really do wrong, slam the car, reduce shock travel, compromise suspension arms angles, incorrect spring rates etc etc. For the E46 is think a lot of gain can be had with underbody work, the font bumper can extend a flat surface to the wheel wells with difusors leading to it. Here is where vented fenders from Mkrennsport or Karbonius can really work. For the rear a sealed diffusor that incorporates the 4 pipes would be nice, from the diff back. Varis is the only outfit that has a 2 piece difusor like this and is maybe worth looking into. Love the videos. Cant wait for the rest Robert, thank you.

Nice little catch up video! With the next one as someone who doesn’t know much about suspension I’d like to understand why say kw v’3 for example would be a better choice than something like bc racing, H&R equivalent’s! And would the type of car change what type of suspension you may need for the same purpose? Say George has a mini and Tom has a m3 would a different type of suspension suit something better for track use?

Curious on the suspension choice. For me the definition of a RingTool would be - enjoy the drive to Adenau/eiffel, do some TF, go back the same day. And take the car out on other weekends on twisty roads. Does it really need a motorsport line damper (too harsh, not enjoyable?), or would RS be a better choice (too weak)?

I would like to ask JRZ: Managing roll rate. 1. How do you discern the difference in rebound and compression adjustments in regard to slowing roll rate? Adding rebound can keep the inside wheel from extending, keeping the car flat. Adding compression can add roll resistance on the outside corner. But how do you discern which adjustment is needed as a driver in regard to roll. 2. How do you balance valving with gas pressure (outside of cavitation) in regard to vehicle support? 3. How do you manage valving as a roll stiffness contributor along with spring and bars? Does JRZ target specific natural frequencies for each chassis that the valving range is based on? 3. What is the consensus on low vs high speed velocity crossover (how many in/sec?)

Low mileage on older cars isn't always a good thing, I bought an Alfa 75 that had been stored (and maintained) for at least 5 years, but as I started driving it all the engine seals gave out, this was after replacing all suspension bushings because they were perished. And I should've known better, I had the same experience some years ago when I bought a car that had been sitting for a while...

Thanks for another great video. General question for the next 3 question blitz: Do you have any other summer plans at Apex? You shared your plan to reduce what Apex does back in January, we know you are back from Florida and focused on the E46 build. That's alot when stacked on top of your normal job, but simply curious if you have anything else on your ring agenda.

Would love the airflow management chat! E46 would be really hard as the rear suspension is quite exposed and would hard to design around.

Sooo looking forward to this build series ❤. Did you ever do a rebuild series on the GT2 RS MR after the accident?, if so I seem to have missed it?. And as for the PPF issue?, it’s a no brainer for such a build on the E36 that’s going to be used/but not abused on the track.
@RobertMitchell
@RobertMitchell 20 күн бұрын
yeah, I really wanted to do more with the gt2 but the job became a bit of an unorganised mess from the workshop lol.... couldn't ever guess when they were going to work on it. never got calls when milestones were being hit and took a year longe than planned so it was kind of a hit and miss with filming

Another Great video, enjoyed watching 🤗👍🏻 - would like to know more about underbody airflow, how to reduce lift, air around the wheels and air inside the wheel arches. Would like to know how much the height of the front splitter above the tarmac affects the car’s stability at high speed sections. That is an issue I assume reduces the stability of my track car, that I get to much air under my front end. Also, what if you reduce the gap from front splitter to tarmac, how does it impact the effectiveness of a rear end diffuser? What about side splitters to keep the air under the car and not let it out sideways, but directing it to the rear end diffuser.. Would love to hear your thoughts on this Robert 🤓

Who wouldn’t PPF a car after a paint job like that. I added it to my whole front end, lower doors, and quarters on my e46. I even added it over existing touched up chips. Finding a good painter can be difficult also.

It has been said that the stiffer the vehicle chassis allows you to run lower spring rates. my question to jrz. Have you seen a change on “before vs after “where some stitch welds a chassis or adds a roll cage? IE you made a change to damper or spring rates do to stiffer chassis and change in driving dynamics.

I am curious about info around the PPF stuff. I have a very tidy MX-5 (Near the Nürburgring) and I struggled to find a place to get it PPFed after it was re-sprayed... (Since then I hit the wall in Breitscheid and it needs some body work and other stuff) so I will get it PPFed after it get's body work done. Again... :D
