That is a cheap shot! They used their own veteran professional race car driver to beat the M3's lap time by someone who never raced competitively.

I would have loved to see some of the BMW Motorsport guys namely Martin Birkmann take his E90 there and kick some serious tail but the other stipulation was that you could not be an employee of the challenge car manufacturer, nice how GM gets to make the rules and still get some publicity.
