Watch A Plucky BMW 135i Give A McLaren 675LT Some Real Hassle On Track

Despite being shown a blue flag, this 675LT driver refused to let a faster driving BMW 135i through

This 135i may have had a bunch of new parts thrown its way - including a Quaife LSD and bits of M3 in the suspension - but it’s still a relatively heavy BMW coupe with half the power of the 666bhp McLaren 675LT.

Regardless, with some committed driving, he’s able to give the 675 up ahead some real bother in the corners (the McLaren is actually shown the blue flag at one point), before helplessly watching it power away on the straights. Eventually, he is let past by supercar.

But don’t be too down on the 675LT driver: taking a hugely expensive, one of 500 car on track - even if that’s its intended stomping ground - takes balls, so we can forgive them for being a little tentative in the corners.

The McLaren driver hasn’t got a clue about track craft. His cornering lines are all wrong for starters.

I think McLaren driver was too cautious about his car (or his money) hence he didn’t push it to the limits in the corners.

The N54 is the new 2JZ. My brother has a single turbo converted one that is ungodly quick. Never doubt the one series!

*ok*

FYI, a blue flag doesn’t necessarily mean you have to let the passing car by. It’s informational only, meaning it’s the responsibility of the faster driver to make the pass. The slower driver just has to maintain their line, which he did. Of course, the rules may be different in a track day.

Every supercar should come with a “skills not included” label like they put “batteries not included” in toys
