Turner is selling his cars for 450K a piece, making room for something new for next year apparently.

So, Mac, have you got an extra $450,000, and the means of transporting both Turner cars?
If so, you and I have finally formed that racing team we were talking about.
I've always loved those Turner BMWs. BMW and Mazda were the two manufacturers I wanted to see winning the most. 
It's going to be sad to not have them sneaking their way into the winner's circle anymore.

While they won't be run by Turner, you do realize that BMW is still going to be in the series? The Z4s have shown they can compete with the other cars so they still are capable of getting into victory lane.

Then, why didn't you just say that?
I like the GTE Z4s, I don't get why some people don't like them(apart from that one guy who just doesn't like the ALMS GT version)

I don't like the look of them, I think they look goofy. I wouldn't want to be seen in one, so I think it's uncool.

Implying you can afford one?
Seriously though, I think Turner might run the Aston Martins. One of his drivers already has connections to them (which helped put Bill Auberlen in one of the GTE cars at Le Mans if I recall) and Aston are already looking to do a campaign in North America so I think he's going with them.

That's my second guess because Paul Dalla Lana runs an AM in the wec if I'm not mistaken. I think Audi is the more attractive car choice due to the more development in the car.

Dalla Lana wants to race with Turner if I remember right. Billy Aub. will be with RLL though. I doubt PDL wants to race against manufacturer teams and pro-pro lineups. He's in gte-am in the wec. Gtd Audi or AM more than likely. My gut was beginning to tell me Turner goes to PC, but that article says GTD.

Pretty sure there was an article which said that, at least for the NAEC, Dalla-Lana would be driving the GTE Factory Aston.
I'm pretty sure Turner will keep with BMW and go for the Z4. It would totally undermine their business (BMW parts) to go with Audi or Mercedes.

Wow, a stop & go to the Aston Martin for "Avoidable contact". So now going off track and coming back on and getting hooked in the side counts as "avoidable contact"? Complete rubbish 
.
By the way, the final Rolex Sports Car Series race is on.

Great racing today. The final yellow flag really sealed the deal of the race. Watching Preutt live making a run on second place was ruined by the crash on the West Hill of Lime Rock. Unfortunately my phone was dead at that point of the race and I didn't get to record the crash with the two prototypes and Porsche that ended Preutt's push.
It was nuts seeing that happen less then 25 yards away
