Looks like he caught the M5 driver sleeping a little bit. I’d like to see it if they ran it back with both starting at the same time.

M5 also went at the third honk.

the RC F driver literally honked and pressed the gas on the third honk. The BMW driver went after the RC F was already almost a half car out.

The race went from 40 mph to almost 150 mph (5th gear). He kept losing ground. RCF would have won still.

If you have good quality headphones at high volume, you will hear it clearly that the M5 went at the same time as the RCF as you hear both of the engine notes at different octaves in harmony (also the hood of the M5 pitch up).

Wow...a little surprised but from the YouTube races I’ve seen the RCF top end is quite potent. I wonder if the M5 set his SMG to full

Not sure about the M5 mods, but RCF has Invidia full exhaust (and passenger). He also hit the rev limiter in 2nd. I have been in an M5 SMGIII many years ago and the single-clutch is abysmal even in fastest mode.
