It's the last race of the 2009 ALMS season at Laguna Seca where the finale has been held for the last number of years. One of the best places to finish a season without a doubt. Monterey is one of the prettiest places in the US and the track is one of my favorites. I've had decent success here in the past. I dominated here in 2005 with my teammates Justin Marks and Bill Auberlen in an M3 and finished well in every year after. Last year I lead for an hour or so in the aging Panoz and finished...

What's up SpeedHunters – I'm Tommy Milner and I'm a 23 year old 'kid', lucky enough to have to have one of the most exciting jobs in the world. I grew up in a racing family, my dad having been in racing since the late 60's, and grew up a big car guy/race fan. Nothing has changed since I was young, as I still watch anything and everything to do with cars or racing, now I'm just fortunate to make a living at it. I started off racing 125cc shifter karts when I was 15...

BMW Mobile Tradition is BMW North America's vintage fleet of race cars that are toured around the country to some of the greatest car shows the US has to offer. These aren't your usual museum show cars though. All of them are fully operational and I've been lucky enough to drive most of them. And drive them hard... I'm not going to go into detail about these cars' history because honestly, Rod knows a lot more about these than I do. What I do know about these cars is how they...

When you have the time to actually witness a professional racing team do what they do throughout the course of the day, you can't help but to feel intimidated. I had the honor of being a guest with the BMW American Le Mans team and had the opportunity creep, snoop, and stalk the team and their drivers throughout the course of the weekend. This being my first real motorsport and the first non-rice event I've shot, there was a bit of a culture shock as I started to experience the world of real...

I'm sure that you are all somewhat familiar with this beautiful piece of engineering -the Rahal Letterman Racing BMW M3 GT2.... And lucky for you, BMW agreed to let me get under the skin of the GT2 during my recent trip to Rahal Letterman Racing a few weeks ago. I've been following the development of this car with some interest since the racing program was first announced and made sure that John Brooks took tons of snaps of the car at Sebring earlier this year. The debut of the new racing...

Well BMW Month seems to be off to a good start huh? I'm pretty excited about what's in store for the site for September but am also a bit stressed out by how much work there is to do!... Oh well... All part of the game I suppose. For my first proper BMW feature I thought I'd take you on a quick tour of Rahal Letterman Racing, the team that runs the two M3 GT2s in the American Le Mans series. Based in Hilliard, Ohio, RLR is based out of a whopping 60,000 square foot facility split between...
