Two things to say here:

I am in heaven, this is some of the best news from BMW Motorsport in years! Finally a “Scuderia equivalent.” I fully expected a redirected effort with F1 resources channeled into LeMans racing – just as you mentioned Matt.

Secondly, I am disappointed that this car will not be offered in it’s most altruistic and pure form with a fully manual gearbox. For the sake of an unadulterated driving experience, it would be my pick – though clearly this car was designed to scorch the competition on the ‘Ring, and this gearbox was necessary. But what about an optional 6 spd manual?

Nurburgring lap time of 7 40? I’m already in love.

My two cents…

They have built the 4.4 litre V8 for homologation purposes to give the M3 a better chance in whichever field it races (GT2 / GT4 etc)… the race version of this engine should put out over 520hp, which will help on track… this view is strengthed by the last 5 seconds of the “farewell to F1″ video that features a GT2

BMW are throwing all that spare cash and resources behind GT racing… a homolgised 4.4 is better than a homologised 4.0 !!!!!

7.40 is the Nurburgring lap time of the Mclaren SLR and The Bugatti Veyron! That M3 GT4/GT is a seriously fast car! This shows what light weight and great chasis fine tuning can acheive with significantly less HP.
