Dice que va muy bien en circuito, alaba la suspension y del chasis dice que soportaria 500/600cv, que seran los que veremos en el i9 lo peor los ruedines, en 3 vueltas sin frenazos se los cargó http://bmwi.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1038416 Yesterday I had som track time with my i8. The track was familiar to me having driven it for close to 1000 laps during years with different cars - mainly with my ex-E92M3 but range spans from GT-86 to 800 hp GTRs. i8 didn't offer any surprises at track. The cars is fast and balance extremely good. Suspension is FAR better than E92M3 w/KW Clubsport and even better than F430. I didn't push car to the limits but still had couple of faster laps. Grip was good and I think this chassis can take much higher hp than i8 can offer. I felt a slight lack of hp in certain sections, but that wasn't due lack of power but instead of high absorption capability of the construction. I think i8 could accomodate 500-600 hp without any problem. I have a video about laps, I'll drop it later on. Herewith couple of photos. Please note rear section of the car - you can really see aerodynamics of the package from these 600 mm telephotos. There's unique air channeling around rear tyres that is hard to understand while inspecting the car at close proximity. And tyres - yes, you can't track them. 3 faster laps without any serious braking and they are clearly melted. Compound may not be very soft itself but these tyres can't stand track heat cycles nearly at all. I have to seek better tyres for next season in order to drive even shots stints. In practise you can't do track days at all with i8 OEM tyres.
