Default Rahal-Letterman/BMW

Have signed Auberlen and Hand to pilot one of the BMW M3s in the ALMS.

I wonder if they will be doing Grand-Am as well?

Its been said that AJRs sponsor Ruby Tuesdays will not be there next year. No sponsor, no ride, probably. As for Auberlen's Turner ride. I would think that the semi-works ride for Rahal-Letterman/BMW would be of more import.(?) And they will conflict for Miller, Lime Rock and Road America.

I wonder if there is any chance of seeing at least some version of this car at the Motor Show Essen, on the same date that Audi is presenting its 2009 plans and the R8 GT3.

Probably a mock-up or pre-production version knowing that the actual cars are being tested...

I would think that would be predicated on whether it is homologated as a GT-2 (full ACO) or a GT-2S (IMSA/ALMS). Still waiting to hear on that front!

I'm surprised they're not on Michelins?
