You really get a sense for how hard he's hitting it when he catches up with noob traffic. Way to assault those curbs, Bill!

I got to drive with Bill for 2 laps at Monticello at the M Track days in the M5. The guy is an awesome driver, he actually had me a little scared on one part of the track. I got a video(well 2) but they are on my facebook. M Trackdays full day event was WELL worth the money.

Keep in mind also that those "noob" drivers aren't the typical ones at the half day events, there was a noticeable difference in overall skill level at the full day event. Riding with Bill does leave you feeling like such a novice.

After competing in shifter Karts I always see a video like this an laugh. This is literally like driving in slow motion. Don't get me wrong, Im sure the passengers have a blast but this is so far from actual racing. He's not even using the whole width of the track.

Too bad it wasn't the full track and Bill driving 10/10 without traffic. Still, great too see how this monster handles the turns.
I was out there in my M4 last month for the first time and loved it! Great track and staff! Too rich for my blood tho....

But credit where it’s due: 3 slow laps without Drivetrain Malfunction is still impressive. Last edited by PawnStar; 08-31-2018 at 11:40 AM.. |

When do they have open days? I was under the impression that it is not possible to rent access, and you must come in with a member or as part of a corporate (or similar) event. In fact, their brochures emphasize this.
