Koni Challenge Watkin Glen 2009 - Auberlen / Hand Dual View

Great battle at the Glen between Joey Hand and Bill Auberlen in the Turner Motorsports e46 M3's. I'll use Turner Motorsports' decription of the clip so that I don't get blasted for being a spoiler about the outcome of the race.  

This is DUAL in-car footage from both the #96 Turner Motorsport BMW M3 and the #97 Turner Motorsport BMW M3. From Round 6 of the Grand-Am KONI Challenge race at Watkins Glen, June 7, 2009. Footage begins with Bill & Joey coming in for their final pit-stop (under a full course caution) to take fuel and tires. The video then skips ahead a few minutes to the restart -- where some SERIOUS nose-to-tail racing ensues. Both Bill and Joey fight their way through some seriously dense traffic to make their way back up to the front positions. Once the ST class traffic has been cleared, the video jumpt to a battle with 2 mustangs, and lastly to Bill and Joey trying to fend off a Porsche. In the end, the TRG Porsche piloted by Andy Lally is able to get by both Bill and Joey's Turner M3s to win the race, though not without a hard fight from the TMS BMWs. 

Check out the complete race this weekend on Speed TV It airs at 2PM EST.  Enjoy!
