How do you get the best out of a modern performance car on a track day? Steve Sutcliffe takes the BMW M5 Competition to our favourite British circuits in this four-part series, showing you how to get the most from your performance car on track. 

How to drive a BMW M5 Competition on track -  Part 1: Oulton Park

We begin at Oulton Park, where Steve walks us through his preferred setup to best cope with Oulton Park’s tight technical sections, aggressive kerbs and bumpy surface.

How to drive a BMW M5 Competition on track -  Part 2: Goodwood

This time we’re at the Goodwood Motor Circuit, one of the UK’s fastest tracks and home to both the Goodwood Revival and evo Track Days. It’s a circuit that will challenge even the most seasoned track day driver, with intimidating high speed bends and mid-corner bumps that unsettle even the most accomplished performance car.

How to drive a BMW M5 Competition on track -  Part 3: Bedford Autodrome

It’s now time to head to our home at the Bedford Autodrome. We find ourselves on the West Circuit, a fast yet safe track that allows drivers the chance to push their car to the limit thanks to large run-off areas. With smooth tarmac, and plenty of margin for error, watch on to see what Steve can do with the M5 Competition.
