BMW M6 GT3, supposed to hit the track in '16



The German manufacturer confirmed the new 4.4-liter V8 M TwinPower Turbo-powered car will generate over 500 hp and will weigh less than 1,300 kilograms.

Larbre Competition C7R planned livery



Great to see a Corvette R in something other than plain yellow and black.

Can't wait for the 24 this year. Should be interesting with Nissan enter the LMP1 class with a FWD vehicle. Hoping Audi will pull through again. Was so sad to see Tom Kristensen retire last year.

Laguna Seca switched from split class race to a single race with all classes.

TV coverage and schedule has been announced for the series. All races marked delayed can be seen live on imsa.com

Tom has been appointed Grand Marshal for the 2015 24LM

The Nissan has everything to be AWD but they have yet to say if they'll be using it.

Also, not sure if you guys knew this but the Audi's aren't allowed to use their AWD below 75mph per FIA regulations.

I think the 75mph limit was lifted in 2014.

Thats a very fitting position for "Mr. Le Mans".

Love how this thread has picked activity up here.

Thanks and kudos to AE_Racer and The Raptor for stirring the pot up about the silence here. Keep the posts coming guys. Looking forward to the CTSC race broadcast from Daytona on Sunday AM. Will be following Andrie and Billy Johnson as well as a classmate from Skip Barber school who made his debut at Daytona driving a Mustang Boss 302 R in the GS class. Also HART Racing and their Civic Si's are a favorite as well as Staff Sgt. Liam Dwyer and his Freedom Autosport MX-5.
