BMW RLL M3 GT Kicks off 2011 ALMS Season with 1-2 Win at Sebring!

So the 1-2 was awesome but did anybody else notice that the guy who won a seat in the car by winning that GT5 challenge placed second in LMP Challenge

I think they call him the digital kid?

didn't even know it was live online or on xbox live, they should have done better promoting this.

I saw the stupid tape delay and cut version on sunday. ABC really messed it up, b/c in the old days when it was on Speed Channel, it was the best coverage. You could get up watch the race start, go eat lunch, work out, come back watch some more, then do some shit, come back eat dinner, then watch the end of the race, it's like ALMS on-demand.

something is missing when you have to watch a finish like this on a tape delay:

that race ^^ is what brought me to love road racing more than F1 - the excitement and action is miles ahead, even if the technology isn't. those are my 2 favorite drivers, too (although the bergmeister lost out, he got his revenge against that corvette at laguna seca

)

So for BMW to be able to do this they need to have the same car numbers and team name. Hope that helps!

Trim M:
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't think to correlate the numbers with the move by BMW M to participate in the ILMC. It makes sense, but begs the question: Why couldn't Team Schnitzer use the numbers 90 and 92? Already taken in the EU?
