Touristenfahrten (TF) sessions

To drive in your own car or on your own motorcycle around the course is a special challenge. To master the 20.8-km-long Nordschleife course requires that the driver constantly re-evaluates his/her driving capabilities and also him-/herself ander high demands. The Nordschleife is not a modern race course. Blind bends, blind, treacherous crests, steep inclinations as well as constantly changing road covering, and thus different frictional resistances make the Nordschleife one of the most demanding challenges for every motor sports fan. At the same time it is regarded as the probably "most beautiful road in the world".

The M3 CSL is a car made for the NS tourist driving sessions. The formula BMW M’s specialists have followed in creating this dynamic driving machine is “intelligent” lightweight technology: This means consistent reduction of weight by using the most appropriate materials at the right point. Carbon-fibre -reinforced plastic, for example, not only reduces the overall weight of the car (weighing approximately 110 kg less than the standard M3, the M3 CSL has an overall weight of just 1,385 kg, but also allows even higher speeds in bends particularly through the use of this lightweight material at the extreme ends of the car.
