Street Class RWD win- Overall Street Class win
- New lap record for Street Class RWD
With driver, VJ Mirzanian, at the wheel, and new sponsorship from Hankook Tires and Velocity Motor Cars, the BMW 135i, set a scintillating time of 1:29.326sec during the Circuit Battle on Saturday night and smashed the previous track record for Street RWD by more than 3 seconds!

VJ also laid down a smoking time of 1:29.331sec during the Competition session on Sunday afternoon which ensured class victory in Street Class RWD, as well as making the 135i the fastest Street Class car for the day – beating even the AWD competitors!
The ER team worked through the night on Friday til 7 am, Saturday morning to make adjustments to the suspension to accommodate for the new RS-3 tires sponsored by Hankook and the rear suspension arms sponsored by Velocity Motor Cars.
During Saturday’s Circuit Battle, ER went head-to-head with another BMW 135i with a similar engine and chassis modifications; it was even using the same tires. However, the ER 135i was unstoppable this weekend, beating the other car by almost 1 second per lap, with an advantage of more than 2 seconds for the two combined hot laps.
The ER team continued to make adjustments on Sunday and the car ran even faster in the Competition Rounds, setting its fastest lap of the day at 2 pm, despite high temps.
Time Attack Results:
ER wins Street Class RWD and Street Class Overall, smashing the previous track record for Street Class RWD by more than 3 seconds! ER now holds the track record for Street Class RWD at Willow Springs!
