Car Porn Deluxe- Turner Motorsport's M6- Journey to 24

The news of Turner's move into the GT class and entry in the Daytona 24 has not only captured the attention of BMW racing fans worldwide, but also documentary filmmaking company Veloz Media, who is producing a behind-the-scenes Web TV series to chronicle the team's tremendous efforts and journey to the 24 hour race. This video production will provide a behind-closed-doors experience of preparing for and making it through this race of endurance and perseverance. A "teaser" video has been posted on the web and can be viewed at www.TurnerMotorsport.com/journey24.


Highlights from the 1983 Trans-Am Race at Road America

Those were the days...a field of 50 cars, going at it with hammer and tongs around the beautiful kettle moraine countryside. Plus a grid with David Hobbs, Paul Newman, and who could forget Willy T. Ribbs. Enjoy!

Greetings from Snowy Florida - Turner Motorsports BMW M6 winter testing at Daytona


With the cold snap that was gripping the USA the teams in Daytona were greeted by morning temps around the freezing mark, but as you can see below the Turner Motorsports Team (pictured at left) didn't let cold concrete and cold tires stop them from flying around the banking at Daytona.

2010 Midwest / Great Lakes HPDE Schedule


The cold days and snow are starting to drag me down, so I thought it might be best to start thinking about, and planning for, the warmer days ahead. (Hopefully dry and warm days ahead)

So to that end I starting compiling a master schedule of Mid-Western/Great Lakes HPDE's for 2010. Looking forward to seeing you at the track in 2010 and don't forget to check out the rest of ScuderiaAsinoGrigio.
