Autoblog compiled the definitive guide to the Nürburgring, courtesy of BMW. Twenty eight pages filled with valuable tips from driver such as Jorg Muller who along with Hans-Joachim “Strietzel” Stuck won the 2004 24 hours of Nurburgring. The guide also illustrates the fastest line through the track, on every sweeps, which are even color coded to tell you which gears you should be on.
Here’s a sample:

I’m not sure I’ll be lucky enough to try this at the real thing but wonder if it works on GT4? Hmmmm.
Thanks BMW!

I gotta give props to my buddy Paul.
I like the way he fixed up his E36 M3. The car was yellow originally but currently wears the British Racing Green (BRG) paint job commonly found on Euro E36 M3 GT. I love the paint combined with some old school BBS RS, slammed and done right. He even got some GT2 seats to change the interior a bit. Ahh so fresh, so cleannn.

Props to the Goodtimes crew.

I went to the Long Beach Grand Prix to check out the ALMS racecars and other racecar series run around the streets of Long Beach. Today was set up and practice runs. Weather was a lot better than last week, 82-85 degrees with a cool breeze from the beach.
Here are some pictures:
When we got there, the Formula drift cars were heading back to the garage while the Super Lap Battle cars wait for their turn.

Drift riderz..

Then we strolled down to the Champ Car paddock..

And the American Lemans paddock..

I doubt these …

I’m still in my search for a good looking aero kit for my project MK5.
Volkswagen and Audi tuning specialist Hofele just released their new aero kit for the GTI MK5 model.

Sure is different.

We were in Long Beach today running errands. Most of the streets are blocked off getting ready for next week’s Grand Prix.

But today was also Round 1 of the Formula Drift. My friend JP hooked me up with couple of tickets so we decided to swing by and check it out since we are in the area already.

Plenty of Skylne R34s…

The stance on this green 240 was perfect but the drift battle scars hurts a little.
This is also the debut of the “rear wheel drive” Scion tC with Ken …

Slamm! let the boys be boys.

Camber is over rated;)
