Thumbs up BMW Z4 GT3 Driven by DRIVE Magazine

Not exactly a new video, but to my knowledge, the English subtitles were recently added & I haven't seen this posted anywhere here.

As the Z4 GT3 and its naturally aspirated P65 engine bows out in favor of the new M6 GT3, this video provides an in-depth and first-hand experience of the driving the Z4 GT3 one last time.

Some may recall a similar video of Matt Farah driving the similar Z4 GTD.
The Z4 GTD is similar to the Z4 GT3 but with modified tire and aerodynamics for the GT Daytona class. The motor across all iterations of the Z4 race-cars is the S65-derived P65 V8 engine. A more thorough breakdown of the different Z4 FIA GT race-car variations and engine configurations are explained here.


In the following video, Michael Georgiadis from DRIVE Magazine of Greece takes on the task of driving the Z4 GT3 at Circuito Monteblanco in Spain. The video takes the viewer on a journey from configuring the driver's optimal and safety mandated seating position, to unleashing the beast on the racing circuit.

We take Jorg Muller's seat in the BMW Z4 GT3 race car for a special trackday at Circuito Monteblanco in Seville. Our driver, Michael Georgiadis, comments: "Forget all supercars. Slick tyres and a huge amount of downforce make this a truly unforgettable experience".
