I didn't even know they were taking pics. I pinged them to see if they'd package the last event with the July 5 event.

Great pics. Doesn't hurt that your BMW livery matches the track.

^ Chasing down? or getting passed by? ... jk, couldn't resist .

It IS fun running around the track with some of the more exotic cars, whether we catch them or not.


BTW chamba, I am fond of SG and I think the red wheels work well!



OP, beautiful car and pics! This track is def on my bucket list now.
