Often the best way to enjoy is to drive your favorite track or road when the weather is nice. But with modern sports cars, a rain storm or even a snow storm (with proper tires) doesn’t hold you back. Read the rest of this entry »
Imagine an average Sunday. Imagine waking up just like any other day. But then, add just a few short hours, and realize that you’ve just bought a new car – no prior planning, no nothing, just a simple quick deal. I’ve always been impatient in making decisions, but this has to be a new record for me too.
With the second trip of the year done, many of us are left with mixed feelings. We had once again an all together amazing trip, with plenty of track time mixed with just the right amount of R&R. On the other hand, the long, cold and dark winter season is approaching, and it will be many – way too many – months until we can be back again.
Our passion for the ultimate driving experience just keeps on growing.
The second trip of the year will start on the 30th of August with a ferry from Helsinki to Travemünde, Germany. Fastforward 24 hours, add a few hundred kilometers of Autobahn driving to Adenau and voila – the next day we’ll be ready to enjoy the track once again.
Seeing the M3 E46 GTR live with the engine revving, is the wet dream of any carfreak that has a sound fetish. So here you all have it, enjoy

Using GPS is nothing new in the lap timing business, but what made the idea exciting to many, was the possibility to use a commonly available smart phone together with a cheap Bluetooth GPS instead of expensive purpose made hardware. I made a proof-of-concept in a few weeks, which inspired a few other Carfreaks and quite soon RaceChrono was born.
About a month ago, after several hundreds of hours of work, extensive testing and many laps driven, we finally felt that our project was ready enough to go public.

The season is halfway done, nothing major but the car is more enjoyable to drive! Puts smile to face
I have a small comment for every part…
For starters, I still have the 328i
The CupKit has been installed for six weeks now. I have driven the car in it’s current form on Ahvenisto and Kemora circuits, and it seems that there is still lots of work ahead in order to get the car to behave as I want. First of all, the stock anti-roll bars are absolutely not up to task on the track. It is very fustrating to drive 450km to a race track only to see there way too much roll!
