SDC Track Rental Program
Your opportunity to track E36 M3 perfection at our events.
“Track our shit!”
SoCal Drivers Club is upping the game again with our Track Car Rental Program.
You didn’t think we’d toss you the keys to something average, right? We want you experiencing the track in something we’d be just as stoked to spend an SDC day ripping on, so we scoured the internet for one of our favorite entry-level chassis – the E36. We couldn’t show up in a boring color, though, so we scooped up an ultra-rare Dakar Yellow M3 Coupe. So, what’s the plan?
To offer a turn-key, worry free track car that can rip laps all day and give you a proper taste of what Socal Drivers Club is all about. Welcome to Drive SDC.
We’ve been around fast cars (and even faster drivers) long enough to know that building a proper track tool isn’t just slapping parts together; there’s a formula. Part selection, spring rates, alignment, tires, brake pads… every piece matters. So, before we whipped our credit cards out, we connected with our longtime friend and resident track rat, Alex Bernstein of SUB2 SPEEDHOUSE. So, with one phone call, we got to work and made a plan to get the E36 up to speed in SUB2-spec.
Now, this isn’t a no-expenses-spared build… we wanted to give a killer car some new life, but be mindful of our budget and aim to achieve a lot without going completely overboard… something Alex is notorious for, but don’t tell him we said that. We worked with some of the biggest names in time attack, sourcing parts from Motion Control Suspension, Titan 7 forged wheels, CSF Radiators, Antigravity Batteries, Momo, Sparco and Grid Partners. For setup, fabrication and install, we leaned on our buds at Racecars Unlimited, and together, a dream team and dream spec was realized. So there’s really only one question: Are you ready to DRIVE?

Build Details
Set up by Sub 2 Speedhouse and built by Racecars Unlimited
Suspension
The MCS 1WNR damper is a single-adjustable damper with an adjustment range of 18 settings. Built as an “entry-level” (yet still race-capable and winning) damper, MCS 1WNR dampers are upgradable to our other damper systems. The modular design of MCS damper systems use interchangeable parts for an easy upgrades, without the need to invest in a new package. All MCS dampers are fully rebuildable, serviceable and can be custom-valved and upgraded any time.
These dampers are packed with technical features with elegantly clean execution. The monotube design is very stable with more oil capacity and better heat dissipation than twin tube dampers. Large shafts give extremely high, low-friction side-load support unmatched by shocks inverted and converted for strut applications. The large main piston gives quick, accurate damper response and the divider piston separates oil and gas, eliminating cavitation which often causes noise and sloppiness.
