Just reading through the comments and it's so nice to see that Joe replies to a lot of messages. You normally find as channels grow the owners get too busy to reply. Keep up the great community interaction. them exhausts look huge on the R8 by the way.

Can we just appreciate what a very good driver Joe is. Very quick indeed. This video does show, you need to be pretty well off do to track days.

The MX5 is a good option for track days! Very low cost for the consumables (relatively) speaking. Wont set any lap records but great fun for a “low” cost. As far as I know we don’t have any track day insurance options here in Sweden :( Looking forward to next seasons trackdays. If you get and obd dongle and e.g race chrono pro you can do an overlay of speed etc on to the video

Nice catch at 9:10! Informal video thanks. I've been looking to get on track with my F80 for a while, maybe next year!

Great video Joe and explanations! For me I love driving on track but the overall costs put me off. I tend to lean towards track experiences, it is shorter than a full day which you had for most of the experiences I do, but I would say it is just as much fun to push a car to its limits. Great content and I didn't even know Audi had a new R8 so interested in your thoughts on that. I hope it still sounds good 👍

‘I run a small KZfaq channel’ so modest mate! 😂 great tips for a track day. Got my first one booked at Bedford for Feb next year. Can’t wait.

Top stuff as usual! Looking forward to seeing what spec you go for on the new motor too!

That's straight six sound...💯👍

I recently had the good fortune of moving to Dubai and getting a M2 competition - I've done 10,000kms and 8,000 have been on a track at Yas Marina or Dubai Autodrome. Absolutely love it. Tracking your car can be expensive and from my experience there are two things that you must do to manage the costs. 1. Car setup and 2. Driver training. you partly covered point 1 but before you get on to a track you need to have the right tires, brake pads and suspension setup. its expensive buying the parts but it's even more expensive having to replace the stock ones... get yourself some cup 2s, DS1.11s and as much negative camber as you can... you will have more fun + it will end up cheaper for you as they last much longer on the track. on point 2 - the smoother and more boring you're driving is, the faster you will be and the longer your parts will last - this is what a driving coach allows you to do. if you don't do these things - you might as well get a bag of cash and throw it out of the window.

Should keep the rear wheel drive M3. A more entertaining car, and more of a driver's car. Today all the electronic helps are usually enough to get you through a hard winter.

Good video mate! Lucked out with the weather! Cracking track Bedford & can't wait to go again on 26th Feb - maybe cya there

I think that's an awesome way to end the video, with a little teaser as to what's coming in the next one. Keeps the channel in the back of your mind I think. Top job as usual Joe 👍

Great video mate, always good to see cars like these being used properly!

Great drive, nice new helmet could hear you just fine

Amazing video as always man like Joe I just don't understand noise limits at a track if u don't like cars don't live near a track simple 😎🍻🤙

Was good to meet you at Bedford, and thank you for the coffee and the chat!

Great video, interested to see your racing plans next year. I won free unlimited Trackdays for a year with Javelin this year! 18 and counting so far, I’d hate to think how much I’ve spent on tyres, brakes, fuel and insurance (for reference I have a manual HS M2C, great taste hey 😛). Amazing prize but as you say the cost of the Trackday itself is only ~25-30% of the overall cost (depending on the track/time of year). After lots of experimentation I ended up finding components which maybe aren’t the fastest but provide amazing value, for example running Nankang NS2R tyres, I’ve managed 8 days compared to 3 on a set of Cup2s, albeit Cup2s are ~3/4 seconds a lap slower at my local circuit Oulton Park. Ferodo DS1.11s trump everything else imo in terms of longevity, brake power and cost. Plus a good Geo with plenty of negative camber saves tyres plenty, they wear much more evenly now. Keep up the good work, maybe see you on track at some point!

Super video and cost breakdown! Racing into that late day low sun looks brutal! Cheers from Texas! 🍻

Not sure if your read this but love your content from Australia keep it coming.

Oooh within 0.2 sec of my best time at Bedford (also lifting for the mics). You're a hella lot comfier though 😂 great lap and car 👌

Lightly used M3 for sale; mostly a grocery getter; serious inquires only!

Always transparent vlogs which I like and no flannel great work as usual

I’m glad I could get you out on track much as possible

Love your videos and content joe.top class viewing so thank you

Damn, that's more to pay than I was expecting! Totally worth it though. I'm curious by how much the costs differ from country to country.

Thanks, Joe! Great content. That's so funny you're already getting an XDrive M3!!! I wish you could come to the states and do a review of the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with a manual transmission. If my company does well in 2022 then that's going to be my vehicle!

Good call on ordering the xdrive. Love the content as always.

I did thePalmer Sport day at Bedford 10 years ago driving their cars and that is one expensive day at just under £1000 but great fun

Great video Joe, loving that interior!

Another great video combining visuals and explanations.👍 Many new cars to come in 2022. The now confirmed M3 Xdrive, and of course when released the M3 Touring Xdrive...😜

Great video Joe! Congrats 👏👏👏💪

9:12 lol your T-shirt/top is very app’d 🤣🙌

Good quality filming... you must use some nice gear. Fun to watch!

M3 xdrive arrives in April too, I also cant wait to get it!!!

Great catch ot the rear end. That was rowdy.

Nice recovery at 9:08 👍

You can probably get US citizenship easily. Tracks here are normal and g8x can be ordered with 6MT.

Good video jo thanks for the video

Interested to know your reasons behind wanting x drive so much. I know it can be frustrating to put the power down in RWDs with big power though, especially 80% of the time with British weather. Will you not want to change it again when the touring comes out?

I would love a passenger lap in the new M3/4 ! I was at Spa recently and Mat Watson was there in he’s BMW press car flying around. I should of asked him at the time. Love Bedford done it 3 times this year too.

What is a racing license and how do you get one? If this has plenty of grip why do you want the xdrive? That insurance price is outrageous for a day - yes you go faster and push the car more but you have a much wider road and loads less cars, junctions, roundabouts, marshals etc. Of course I'd love to do it but not very often if that's what it's going to cost. That's not including wear and tear on components like breaks, tyres etc.

Love those M3's

Top driving and video as always mate. There's a cheaper way to do track days, if you don't mind driving a Honda shit box, and being overtaken a bit, but less fuel and cheap tyres, and no track insurance. 😉👌

When r u getting on TV Joe? Great content and nice to see a few moments were the car lost a bit of traction, we are all thinking now that reminds me of the time when.... 🤔

love that Marshall I recently did a track day in my golf r such a lovely lad. great video ! got my ARDS Saturday. do you know what your racing in next year?

while i love your videos (subscriber), i think you set your own bar high, so i will say i was quite disappointed in this video. The title is "How much does a track day cost", but really you just add up insurance, gas, and track fee over 15 minutes. you don't discuss how hard you are pushing the vehicle, like how do your lap times compare to others in similar vehicles on that track. you don't really discuss tires or brakes. g80 m3 being such a large/heavy vehicle, if you are really pushing it, especially without camber plates, tire wear seems like it would be a major consumable item, and probably more so in the front, given all the weight being put on the front axel on every turn in. thanks for the video. i wish it was more in depth in terms of track day cost. also it would have been nice to have say a wireless rode mic setup so that the audio wasn't garbage. again you set your own bar pretty high for photography production levels :)

Joe great vid as always man! one question: the steering wheel with the orange ring is it the performance one or it is your "addition" ....the ring I mean....

Love the content, thank you! How tricky would it be to display your speed on your hot lap as you do with your time?

It is impressive that you keep taking it out to the track and the fact that you did 35+ laps in this session. I am curious how is the car holding up after all that hard driving? And how many miles have you driven the car so far?

Great video Joe!! Did you get a chance to drive the new LCI X3M or X4M on the road? Curious to see how much better the suspension is? I've got a very bright LCI SPY X4M coming April to replace my 2019 X3M.

10 years later.... whoooosh! Or whatever artificial sound is piped out of the EV. Good to hear this car, and its a shame they aren't allowing the joy of noise while it's still a thing...

Joe great video. My production date is approaching soon and I wanted to get your thoughts on whether I’ll regret my decision to go with manual over awd?

Yea it’s not cheap, but I think it’s totally worth it.

Always watch you videos, love them, i'm thinking of setting my own youtube channel as i've been racing in the clio 182 championship, last 2 years, can i ask what editing software you use and how hard is it to learn? Cheers, Chris.

Hi Joe, How much difference do the Cup2 tyres make. I run the PS4S on my carrera s and find the tyres struggle on fast circuits after 10-15 mins, even allowing for air pressure. Been think of swapping over to cup 2 for track days in March/April. Great content by the way. Cheers.

Looking forward to seeing the new Xdrive. Did you order it from Tony? What colour combo did you go for too? :)

I find in ridiculous that there are noise restrictions at a race track.

do you drive with one foot or both?

Why do tracks have sound limits? *confused*

Joe I love your videos but can you please drive more AMGs

Just ordered the new 240i but can’t decide on the colour, either thunder night or grey, how did the purple look in the flesh?

Hi Joe, just wondering how much money your current M3 held its value going in with it for the X Drive? Was it a straight swap so to speak? I’ve got a RWD Model with only 3000 miles on and just trying to weigh up whether to do the same?

I wouldn't normally ask this but how much of a struggle is it to keep the orange bits orange?

How have you found Adrian Flux when making a claim? Used them years ago but when I tried to make a claim they moved mountains to avoid paying out.

£250 for insurance for a day on that car is a bargain I’ve been quoted higher for an OG M2 and I’m in my 40s with over 10 years no claims

Not sure if I missed it but did you explain the reason for the short shifting?

Which one is faster on track the new M3 or RS3?😆

Hi Joe. Where do you get your steering Wheel modified with alcantara? Cheers. Nick

Do you get to claim your tires and brakes as an expense because this is for your youtube videos?

Is that Yaris 👀 don’t need to be ashamed to go with my vRS Octavia than 😃

Why no overlay of speed and data?

Why not wait for the Touring?

How often do you change engine oil ?

Will the xdrive one be getting ppf on it ?

Lots of short shifts Fun though

FYI - it's costing you more to do a track day than it used to cost me to do a rally in the welsh forests. Yes not in a posh car, but for me I'd rather be in lesser car doing proper motosport in a forest than going round in circles on a so so track.

If you have the car on a PCP, does it technically violate the Ts&Cs to take it on track? Something that has always bothered me and held me back … 🤓

Great video 👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 check ur twitter 😉

Hi Joe, I have sent a DM on Instagram, would love your thoughts and advice please. Dan

When KZfaqrs chop and change cars I feel like theres no connection between them and something we enjoy watching ... the best automotive KZfaq is when someone really loves there motor... this is just another car ... whats the point in upgrading x y and z and then getting rid..the X drive will be the same in reality.

The first
