What We Have Gotten Ourselves Into
Team Formula BMW ran an e30 at Thunderhill last December. One of their team members, Rahul Nair, created an entertaining and instructive mini-documentary that’s well worth watching. It’s 25 minutes long, so wait until you have some time to take it all in (I watched it during lunch). It goes all the way from car prep (wouldn’t it be nice to have a full-service Lotus shop prepping our crapcan?) to transport, tech and judging, and then some of the race itself. I found the judging part to be most instructive, but you may have other favorite parts.
Here’s the link to his blog, which also has the video, but I’ll embed the video below for your convenience. Enjoy:

The narrator’s accent just kills me. How often do you hear an Indian guy using fluent American vernacular and slang, and talking about racing crapcans? He’s the Lemons Everyman.
Great video. Some good tips in there and just more flavor of what lemons is all about.
This was nice:
“95mph may not sound like much on the highway, but 95 mph when heading into turn one in a 20 year old car that you got for free, you sometimes wonder if this is such a sensible idea.”
