ESP when I'm basically sitting here on the couch being supportive and not REALLY doing much else right now

 

At least Porsche is winning GT 

BOOOOOO fancy beetles :(. I hope now that Dempsey wins

 

sadly TMS had that trans failure

 

 

 

 

I love how Boris picked up tools and got to wrenching on the car in the garage

 

DP looks to be very very competitive

Just saw the review for the BMW 1M (not M1). Sounds like BMW is trying to recapture some of the E30 magic. It's the weight of an E36, but with a bit more power (twin turbo so potentially a LOT more power) and a 2" shorter wheelbase. It also apparently has the wheels, tires, and brakes of the current generation M3 so it must stop on a dime.

 

The numbers look good. It could shape up to be a nasty little car. Hopefully it won't cost the better part of a M3.

 

Now if only the 1 series didn't look like a characature of the 3 series.

Love hearing those triple-rotor Mazdas.

 

Interesting fact: The RX8s and the BMW M3s in the GT class have the same chassis. They just have different engines and bodies.

 

and they aren't even like the real cars...tube frames, different motors, etc. my husband did the conti tire test back in oct and he worked on the sahlen team and learned a bunch about those cars

 

as much as i like watching these races, i prefer to watch cars that are closer to what i can drive in real life (world challenge series, etc)

I'm much the same, but at least these are shaped like the street cars, unline another series that shall remain nameless. I really enjoy the tech involved too.

 

But those Daytona Prototypes are just UGLY. I wish they would come up with a design that has a lower roofline.
