When it comes to racing their sports cars or high-performance sedans on the track, most drivers settle for the iconic Nurburgring->ke999 and its Nordschleife configuration. The German course takes center stage these days with so many open days and manufacturer test sessions, but Europe has plenty of historic race tracks that are ready to receive speed-hungry enthusiasts and their awesome cars. One of those tracks is Spa-Francorchamps, and the video->ke278 above proves once again why the Belgian course and its Eau Rouge chicane is such a huge attraction.

Making things even more interesting is that the vehicle carrying a camera as it laps the 4.3-mile track is the brand-new, 2015 BMW M3. We already know the high-performance sedan has the skills it needs to take on any track around the world, but it's that much more exciting to see it being put to good use on Spa-Francorchamps. What's more, behind the wheel of the sedan is none other than Ron Simons, a former race driver and founder of the RSR Nurburg racing school.

It doesn't get better than this when it comes to hooning a road-legal Bimmer, so just sit back and enjoy a couple of laps around the Formula One->ke662 track. And make sure you catch that speeding Ferrari 458 at the 7:18 mark.
