Totally agree. I hate when people post results in the subject line. Nothing wrong with starting a thread, just don't spoil it for the rest of us!

I don t think all 8 DTM cars are the same. I find it strange Marco can win so easy an other BMW drivers who are World champions can do anything about it. Marco could have some better equipment then the order bmw factory drivers. Marco is a long time factory driver started at bmw at a very young age. BMW want to push Marco to the top and it s gets the stuff/engine which has just that little more.

The S65 most likely shares a lot with the P6XB40 series of engines however this M4 GTR's heart wasn't built at landstuhl like a bespoke engine it was built at Munich
At least no turbo lag |

And no, your/our S65 is not in this DTM car. DTM 'M4' has nothing to do with F82 M4, and has a totally different motor than the S65 that you reference. It's just marketing. |

It just "looks" a bit like a M4... The rest is almost as sophisticated as an F1 car...

If you have 8 engines on a test bench you always have one engine which gives just a few hp more. I think that engine was sitting in Marco s car.

If you saw the Top Gear Ayrton Senna tribute, you'll remember David Coulthard talking about his time as a test driver. A big contributor to Senna's success was his commitment to take practice sessions more seriously than other drivers so him and his team could get the car dialed in perfectly which made it easier for him to drive the car during the race. |

It has 8 cylinders. It relates more to the S65 than it does with the S55 :P

In reality they relate nothing to road going powerplants. Benz and Audi run 4.0L as well, what do they relate too? |
