Ooooooooo I just love this car.... I just noticed that Andy Blackmore had a big stack of files on his HD that he was keeping all to himself..... so I've stolen a few of them for us to enjoy together....

For me, this is one of the most eagerly anticipated new race cars of 2009.... Notice the RAYS logo?

I am waiting for someone to build a street replica of this car... that would be amazing...

One of my co-workers at the office here has declared that cars can't be sexy.... I would disagree.... what do you think? Is this car sexy?

Funny enough I used to communicate with Tom Milner (the one with the yellow helmet) before he started his racing career. We used to be part of the same PC Race Sim mod scene around 8-9 years ago.

 I wonder what this car sounds like... the old M3 GTR emitted a very metallic buzzing sound which hurt the inside of my brain each time it drove by... I hope this car growls a bit. We'll see at Long Beach in April!

They had an early version of the car at ALMS Road AMerica last year, along with the LMP V12.

I was pleased.  Can't wait for another year of awesome racing.

Rod: I know just the sound you speak of. I photographed the Advan M3s up at Lime Rock a few years back and my skull felt like the inside of a tin can getting assaulted with a hammer.

It sounds pretty awesome imo. Let's hope the Dunlop tires don't let them down.

Re the PC sim side of things, Rod was that to do with Virtua LM, Speedsims, Race Sim Central at all? Daftly, after making a comment about a video here on Speedhunters reminding me of Speed Tribe, I was looking at the DVD packaging and saw that you played a large part in that. Woops! Next time I will read the fine print... M3 looks great.
