Brought it into Ford service and they recognized the noise and took a look. I loosed and tightened everything myself and had no luck getting rid of the tick. So i took it in that day once i noticed it and they thought it might be exhaust.

#GT IDIVE SKIPPING MODS#

The only mods I have are axle back exhaust and a removed sound tube. It fades off around 2500 rpm (or i cant hear it because of the exhaust). It is fairly intermittent and does increase frequency a bit as the rpm's climb, but still is not consistent, and I can really hear it as the rpms fall. I just got an oil change around 35k miles on my 2015 GT (Auto) and that day driving around i noticed this same sort of nasty tick. I wanted to make this post to chronicle the process of taking it in and hopefully the eventual happy resolution. I used only ford motorcraft oil and an stp XL filter. Here is a clip of the ticking for reference, keep in mind it did not display this behavior when I first bought it. I replicated the sound with ac on and off and he confirmed it did not sound normal. Its still under the base warranty so w/e happens should be covered but the service advisor acted like he had not heard about this issue, even though a quick google turns up pages of results for these cars. I dropped the car off at Chapman Ford Scottsdale today. My heart sank more when finding youtube videos showcasing the exact sound my car was making only to learn in the comments or later in the forums posts that either a new short block was put in or an entirely new motor. I was really heart broken to see this is a pervasive thing from all 5.0 owners not just 6 gens but also the previous 5th gens have been having this issue. After doin an oil change noticed the ticking sound and began googling. The hardest part for me, especially on the rare weekends I drive both, is nailing the braking points and corner speed with the precision required to win races in two very different cars.Just bought this car 2 weeks ago, has 29k miles on it. The different cars certainly have different characteristics, but I drive a lot of different equipment, so that isn’t a big deal.

I came back for a weekend in 2019 to help our team out (we ran a full-season TC team), and everything just lined up for a full season this year. I had a long stint through 2009 as a full-time driver, then moved in endurance racing. What keeps bringing you back? How hard is it to transition from the GT4 BMW to the TC America BMW? You have been in TC America in it’s various forms off and on for almost two decades.

Racing is a team sport, but with the amount of time on the road with all the series we run, it’s a family also, and I know I’m supposed to say some famous racer, but time with the people I enjoy is hard to beat.

He did my first featuring the driver character we use, and my painter Brett King has taken that and run with it.

My first Touring Car win at Road America in 2008 in one of our BimmerWorld E90 325i Touring Cars – my pass for the lead on the outside of Turn 5 is one I remember every time I’m at that track.

#GT IDIVE SKIPPING HOW TO#

I bought a BMW E30 M3 after wrecking a street car and realizing I needed to learn how to drive if I was going to drive fast – and I didn’t want to stop that… I took it to the track, and that was the end of me – I’ve been pursuing racing ever since. Lots of racing to go, but the start was a good one. I won the Saturday TC race, which is the best way to start the season! Then another podium on Sunday put me in the lead for the Championship.
