Where for art thou, Boomgear?

Half throttle from second to third, over spin on one side. One of those unlucky moments.

All that work and no LSD installed?

Car has lsd from factory.. not sure what he means tho

Maybe he got sideways and smacked wheel on something, bent that suspension component? Dunno. Would love to hear more from @675430VME @BoomGEAR. No matter what, it’s awesome to see them campaigning on the ring! Keep it up! Improves the breed

Turbo only has e-lsd, not an actual lsd. LSD for i4 upgrade was just released a few days ago in China and obviously Ryan's car is in Nurburgring so I am not sure what he meant neither...

The car lost control on a sideway overspin and put the nose pointed straight to the fence, Ryan saved the car by only hitting the rear wheel which bent the tie-rod. If it was the stock tie-rod, it wouldn't be bent but just broke into two pieces.

E lsd can mean electronically controlled lsd, which is what Ferrari / corvette lambo have.

V6mt has mechanical lsd.

Did you mean to suggest that the i4 has no limited slip differential at all (like all McLarens before Artura?)

Yeah from the video I saw — I’m not sure exactly what he hit but the toe arm would have been snapped on the stock piece. We have the same toe arm as the evora and those are known for cracking under heavy use with slicks sometimes. It’s a must upgrade for regular track participants.

It’s on my list of upgrades 100%.

The result of a snapped toe arm is an uncontrolled wheel in one axis, at speed this causes some major damage, Ryan was lucky his was at a lower speed.

Rumor has it the same thing happened over and over on this exact same spot lol

 

[NJemira85]

It does not.

Wow this is a bummer! Just read neither does the v6 auto.

Suddenly much more appreciative of our v6mt torsen

That will be a great mod for the amg emira homies!

Surely this would be covered under warranty? Even running with semi slicks considering Cup 2 is a factory option

You won’t break them on cup2s on the street unless you hit a curb. And honestly do you care if the dealership replaces your toe link under warranty when the entire wheel ripped apart your fender and everything around it and caused you to uncontrollably hit a wall? That’s the kind of stuff that happens when you lose a toe link.

Warranty doesn’t protect against hitting stuff..
