The first two laps are laps 1 and 2 of the fourth session of the day that were a low 1:47 and high 1:46, the third/final lap is lap 7 of the same session/my fastest.

This is my second time ever on Big Willow, the first behind the wheel of my 128i. This track is so much fun with the torquey N52, and it proved to be a fruitful first outing; I laid down a 1:46.67 after making some changes to my initial line and finding a little courage. It's a great baseline to work on. I hope to drop down to a 1:39.XX by winter, which might be quite tough, but I'm up for the challenge.
