/
In 2001, fresh off of two decades of kicking ass, BMW commissioned a series of films featuring its cars and a semi-unheard of British dude named Clive Owen.

On Nomenclature
/
Hours of sitting next to a track will teach you a thing or two about the cars running on it. The “Rusty Trombone” Passat is named not just amusingly but accurately as well: the slick side-trunk-exit exhaust produces a tone as mellifluous as that produced by the brass horn on the car’s roof.

/
The racers are a-rollin’ here at the Circuit of Grand Bayou. The pack has thinned slightly over the first two hours, and some cars, like the plucky AMC Gremlin, sadly didn’t even make it to the parade lap, but many of the cars are still running fine.
