Fresh off the bank holiday, we’re back in the workshop at Coastal Motorsport, and one of last week’s highlights was this awesome BMW 1602.
Not your average classic, this 1602 has been carefully prepared as a track day car, and it came to us for those finishing touches – a full corner weighting and geometry setup.
Why corner weighting matters on a classic track car
On a lightweight rear-wheel-drive car like the BMW 1602, balance is everything. By adjusting the weight distribution and suspension geometry, we ensure:
- Sharper, more predictable handling
- Maximum grip when cornering at speed
- Improved braking stability
- Even tyre wear for longevity
The result? A classic BMW that feels planted and precise, ready to perform on track while still being enjoyable on the road.
