BMW enters Le Mans GT2 class
BMW hasn’t raced in Le Mans for over 11 years, since they ran the V10 Prototype in 1999. As the cars on the lineup for the 2010 Le Mans were revealed, it appears 2 BMW E92 M3s are registered in the GT2 class!
Seeing as BMW has pulled out of Formula One, it appears they are redistributing some of their racing technology, staff, and resources into various ‘other’ forms of motorsports. Should be interesting to see how they do in the competitive GT2 class against C6 Corvettes, Porsches, and Ferraris.
Thanks to Jalopnik for the tip!

24 Hours Of LeMans is here! Can AUDI take its R15 TDI to further its domination of the sport? Or can Peugeot finally crack the code?
My money is on the R15. Audi really knows what they’re doing on this race….

Redman flies through Targa Florio…
on a normal day! ha. You gotta love a video of Brian Redman driving a 1970 Porsche 911 Targa through the Targa Florio on a day where there are normal commuters, traffic, etc…he’s flying through those city streets! It’s hilarious when the pedestrian realises this and starts bustin ass to cross the street, to get away from the screaming orange 911 rollin at him.
Wallpaper time!
YEAH I KNOW it’s not a ‘vintage’ race car, but damn the *brand new* AUDI R15 TDI is one of the most beautiful modern race cars i’ve ever seen.
