Greetings from Germany!

This car is used in the Veedol Langstreckenpokal (now called BF Goodrich Langstreckenmeisterschaft) on the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife. It is nice to look at, but I'm afraid this one seems to suffer from unreliability (so I've been told) and slow lap times (which I have taken myself).

Since the prices for 850s in Germany are now as low as $10000, using one for racing is not too expensive. Still you'd be better off in an Euro spec M3 racer.


For a racer to decide to deal with just the initial weight of this car would be starting with a disadvantage..but isn't it nice looking?
