[/CENTER]BMW Motorsport and Project 54 Team Up in New GTE Class
Project 54 has just announced its new partnership within the newly combined GTE class moments ago. Project 54 has pulled together with new partner BMW Motorsport to campaign a BMW M3 GTR in the LMES. The owner of Project 54, lilcat89, and head of Motorsport for BMW, Dr. Mario Thiessen, were on hand to answer questions about this partnership. When asked why the move from Corvette, lilcat is quoted as saying, "The factory support was there, but when the ACO did away with GT1, BMW approached me with an interest in the new GTE class that brought the car down to a competitive level." "After a test in Madrid and one at Le Mans, the car is very close to the Corvettes on a baseline setup, so that pretty much sealed the deal for us." According to Dr. Thiessen, "BMW wanted the M3 in GT2 the entire time, but the ACO elevated the car in GT1, where we were also running a McLaren F1 GTR." The new name of the team will be BMW Team P-54.

Pulled out the ZR1 today for some testing at Madrid.
A little marketing ad for the Palace Hotel. In return we get free stays. Excludes blackout dates.
Showing off a little on the Top Gear track.

Nice! Looks like I need to do some BMW marketing since they pay me now...I think.

BTW, what do you guys think of this type of classic LM race/series.
We do multiple 24 lap sessions or something like that, and record the total race time for each driver after every race.
We'd keep racing until we reach the record distance driven. (I forget the exact number, I believe it's 3,000 KM or something like that).
Whoever has the quickest time wins!
This way, we could simulate driving the 24 hour race, without going through a 24 hour sitting.
What double post?
