Not many people get the opportunity to drive BMW Motorsport race cars. The Drive's Matt Farah is a lucky guy though as he's not only driven Turner Motorsport's E92 M3 and Z4 GT3 race cars, but has now also driven their M6 GT3. In the latest episode of The Drive's Tuned, Matt takes to the Palmer Motorsports Park with Turner's modified 2017 BMW M6 Competition Package and BMW M6 GT3.

Matt had some good things to say about the experience, "Unlike the previous two Turner cars, the twin-turbo V-8 makes its peak torque down low, so it pulls out of corners harder than ever; I’m told the combination of torque, wheelbase, width, and aero make the M6 a favorite among Turner’s hot shoes. It’s incredibly stable in the corners, visibility is good all around, and I even got the tires up to proper race temperatures, indicating I could push at a reasonable pace. The brakes are simply immense, shoving me forward against the harnesses as I brake for corners no earlier than the 100 marker."
