Niice Video Niice Car Niice Song !!!

[immrass]

[seapeddler]

This is where science and magic meet; these race cars. However lowly concrete has the final word, at higher speeds.

[MrSuperBoatman]

What is this track and where is it?

[GranTurismoJunky]

@LolaJudd If you seriously dont know what an Audi R10 TDi is, then you have many many years of LMS to catch up on bro.

[GranTurismoJunky]

Anyone else hear a hint of HSV-010 GT in that exhaust note? ;)

This just might be my new favorite LMP2.

[paulam128]

[leylandcarsloverslea]

[Alfonzia18]

[Alembic25]

I have to say that Sportscars/prototypes turn me on more than F1 cars. F1 has disappeared up it's own ass. Odd thing to say I know but cars such as this one look just great. And the raw sound is good too. If you watch "Le Mans" the Steve McQueen film then the cars on there like the 917 are just sheer music. Sportscars man!!
