Thanks to a tip from Matt who is one of our readers, we found a few pics of the Rahal Letterman BMW M3 ALMS test session at Road Atlanta last week. This marked the North American debut of the BMW which will be making its competition debut in the GT2 class at the upcoming Sebring race. The car has been seen at a lot of auto shows this year, and its nice to finally see it out on the track. Just look at it! Is this car not one of the toughest looking ALMS cars out there?
Road Atlanta, fall scenery, and a badass M3. Sounds like the perfect combo to me.
The Ray's wheels make this car look like it could be a Super Taikyu competitor or even a GT300 car from the Super GT series. To me, the overall look of the car has a very "Japan-esque" feel to it.
It will be interesting to see how the new M3 does against its ALMS competition. The main thing I want to know is how this car sounds. The tuned E92's I've seen in Japan are some of the best sounding cars I have ever heard and I can't even imagine what the car sounds like in ALMS-spec.
