BMW re-taking worlds longest drift record

[B C]

That makes sense.

It is bullheaded to expect an E-segment car built in 2018 to be any bit of a pure driving machine. The GT-R doesn't pretend to be, and it isnt, but the AWD/Auto (dual clutch) combo are pretty unbeatable for the face smashing acceleration. 

But this doesnt mean we still cant mourn the death of the "mechanical" M5

I prefer driving my e36 than my v70R Volvo, it has way less power but the Volvo doesn't have the same feeling.  I suspect the M5 would be fun because of the power but likely lacks the character that exists in (my opinion) e36 and older cars.

Fascinating, and the refueling was pretty cool.

A more basic question: mileage and drifting aside is there another Guinness record for a single driver continuously going around in a circle for eight hours? I'm assuming that since there was no driver change, it was long time to be in a car without a truckers friend /Stadium Pal / backseat full of assorted trucker bombs.

Nope, want to buy one?  Excellent condition.  Tons of new parts and maintenance complete.  Read for another 200k.  8500$

Or puke. If I spin around in my desk chair more than three times I feel like Im going to loose my lunch.

Nobody is addressing the bigger question here... did he piss himself in that seat or was there an apparatus of some kind for removal of liquids and solids from his body?

Boris brought this up yesterday... I almost don't want to know the answer

They didn't film the mid drift piss in a bottle.  They however documented that 73.8% of the urine was successfully captured in the vessel.
