Oh! So you say you have a spare $200,000?
Let's say you have a 1/4 million US$ laying around. Let's also assume that a standard M3 just isn't enough for you. Of course we are also taking for granted that you know of a place to achieve 200 MPH in a street legal BMW that retains all the comfort features intended by the factory. Does an E90 3 series with an E60's V10 stir your loins? Best described as the ultimate sleeper, complete with OBD port and all check engine lights intact.
Well if that sounds like your particular brand of automotive narcotic, dial up Turner Motorsport and demand a Hartge H50.
Joey Hand: A Lap of Watkins Glen
Watkins Glen always gives me that pucker feeling. It's the armco barriers that really freak me out. Did you know that if you are unfortunate enough to impact and damage one of those barriers; not only do you need to deal with your mangled car, you also have to PAY for the barrier. Talk about insult to injury...
I'll tell you this: if I ever have to pay for one, I'm taking it home with me and mounting it over my fireplace.
Like a trophy.
Bill Auberlen: In-car lap of VIR in BMW M3
Bill Auberlen. VIR. M3. In-car video.
'Nuff said.
Watch the master in action at one of my favorite venues...
4 hours 35 minutes left to go... 2011 Rolex 24
Montoya the madman has left a trail of broken race cars and spare parts behind him on his charge to the front. His aggressive style has left everyone else behind, and most of the other DP competitors looking for blood. Turner's M3 chances for victory have dwindled to slim, as gearboxes problems ruined what was turning out to be a stellar maiden voyage for the #94 BMW. It's far from over, below is the start in case you missed it!
Don't forget that LIVE audio coverage is available on Grand-Am's website!
A day at the office for Boris
I'll consider this an instructional video. Take special note of his seating position and hand movements. A secret to speed is turn the wheel as little as possible, and Boris obviously has that move down. Also, notice his eyes. That's situational awareness boys and girls, and that's why his office has a cage and yours has a mouse pad...
BMW M3 GT, in-car footage
Turner Motorsport continues their Daytona testing. How does it feel to be in the M3? Here's a taste:
Perspective changes everything...
Of all the things I thought of while watching this video, why is it that I am most interested in what type of bracket was used for the camera mount?
Fly-By! Turner's Grand-AM M3 buzzes the tower!
I apologize in advance to my cubicle-mates.
I'll have this on continuous loop for the next 2 days at least.
Don't hate me because I love the sound of BMW V8's mated to a sequential box...
If you enjoyed that, you'll need a smoke after the next one...
Turner Motorsport update: Rolex GT BMW M3
As the snow melts over the last few days, the somewhat unseasonable warm weather has brought me thoughts of springtime, when engines will awaken from their winter slumber, tires can sing a sweet screech yet again, and RPM's can be set free once more... yes the Rolex 24 at Daytona is right around the corner.
