I think if it's wet, the difference will be very small. That circuit is very advantageous to smaller powered cars as if wet, it's not about power. Couldn't care, will be fun whatever!! Just have to resist massive oversteery play at that bottom hairpin!!!

Yes I agree, it gets really slippy in places when fully wet.

A little drifting is good for the soul, not good for the lap times.

Anyway, sliding out of the hairpin is easy......try drifting onto the main straight at 90MPH

That needs a driver of your skill...... not me.... I keep the traction control on at all times.....

Or lack of.....I spun the LM going onto the straight at 90+

The instructor said that doesn't happen very often

Without wishing to carry on the argument, I really don't have rose-tinted glasses on. Pretty much everything you say about the M2 I agree with. On the face of it, the M2 seems bad value against the M4. I'm not an M2 fan boy. Given a straight choice between the two, I would take the M4 every day. If I thought the M2 would lose tons of money over the next six months, I wouldn't have bought it. I would have waited for the LCI of the M4.

As it happens, I've been blown away by how good the M2 is. As it stands I would have to make a very difficult to decision whether to sell the M2 when the M4 LCI is launched towards the end of the year. I didn't think the decision would be that difficult to make.

No, I really don't. You said it doesn't have an oil temperature gauge, and it does. I'm not a mind reader as to what you ACTUALLY meant. It's another myth that has been perpetuated ad nauseum by people on forums. The fact that it's a digital display which you toggle using the button on the stalk is neither here nor there.

Anyway, it seems we're more or less saying the same thing about the M2.
