E39 M5 | 1/15/23 Autocross

This was my best competition run of the day at 50.513. Later in the day during the "Time Only" runs I was able to get down to 50.061. Soo close to breaking into the 4X time frame. For this event I was testing a new part. I had added adjustable front sway bar brackets (Unicorn Reins) set on the Sport (softest setting). There was a noticeable improvement in front roll during the slalom sections. The car still oversteers pretty bad under power which leaves room to control any understeer that the front bar might introduce.
