I know its not hell red.. and it clearly henna red. Making it the hottest car ever. (The photos are all horribly over exposed though.. bummer)

Nah Forza isn't realistic enough

Yeah we use the G25 - it rocks.

See i'm more of the opinion its ghey to post pictures with less than 275 showing on the speedo

How does it calculate load?

Yes - it causes a massive vacuum leak.

auto - man?

Looking good - welcome

What the f**k! They don't build those Albany office blocks like they used to!

That dude is SUCH a n00b at GTR.. Gus and I would school him. I would kill for that setup - I am planning on building a badass setup. GTR2 owns as the best simulator of them all (along with GT Legends) - You can actually practise driving on them (providing you have a good enough setup)

Think you'd got the ultimate driving setup with your wireless steering wheel, futuristic HD widescreen and custom gaming seat? You ain't got nothing. is the ultimate virtual driving experience. The M3 simulator being shown off at BMW's press event this week features a computer simulation projected onto the windshield and dashboard of an actual M3 from a projector mounted in the back seat. Input from the car's actual steering wheel and gear shifters goes into the computer simulation, which in turn feeds the simulated road conditions into the car's shock absorbers for an authentic bouncing effect. Granted, you probably won't be able to recreate this experience in your home -- the car itself costs the equivalent of over $100,000 even before the simulation accouterments are added in. Then again, when you consider that a high end home racing setup can cost $10,000, maybe that price isn't so ridiculous.

Looking good - see you at the track.

he could of done something a bit more badass than 209.. meh.

Driving over the harbour bridge was badass - it usually wobbles at the best of times but this was something else. Our letter box got owned by the wind - that's about it.

Finally, the 2008 BMW M3’s rival has broken cover. Shown earlier last week, the Mercedes C63 AMG was unveiled ahead of its Frankfurt debut, mostly to distract the attention of the auto enthusiast world that is focused on the launch of the new 2008 BMW M3 in Europe. Mercedes has always offered more power than the M3. The previous-generation C-Class AMG produced a total of 376 horsepower. The previous-generation BMW M3, on the other hand, developed 333 horsepower. Still the Mercedes C-Class AMG never received much attention due to its boring and dead design. Well now things are about to heat up. Mercedes is back with its all new and beautifully designed 2008 Mercedes C63 AMG powered by a 6.3 liter V8 engine that produces 451 horsepower with a torque of 443 lb-ft. The car has the ability to do 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 155mph. The design is just brilliant. BMW, yet again, offers less power with its 2008 BMW M3’s 4.0 liter V8 engine producing 420 horsepower. The car has a 0-60mph time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph. However, we doubt Mercedes will be able to offer the same agile handling as the BMW M3. It is, after all, the ultimate driving machine. We’re just wondering what you think is hotter? The 2008 BMW M3 or the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. 2008 BMW M3 Coupe Gallery (click thumbnails to enlarge): 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Gallery:

I want to know also - there will be bugger all for the MAP sensor to read. Tony suggested a vacuum 'bomb' for brakes and etc. Where did he get that manifold/TBs - very keen to know for my race car. Cheers

Our friends over at CarMagazine got a chance to spend a little one-on-one time with the new 2008 BMW M3. Watch as Ben Barry tells you how the M3 feels from the driving seat. He’ll talk you through the gear change, steering feel, and you can listen to the all-new 414bhp V8 shriek. It’s the closest you’ll get to the E92 M3 coupe before it goes on sale in September.

For a while McLaren looked good, as first polesitter Lewis Hamilton and then world champion Fernando Alonso had spells in the lead of Sunday’s British Grand Prix, but when Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen ran longer than Alonso in the second stint it was all over bar the shouting. By the time the Finn refuelled for the second and last time, on lap 43, he was able to retain the lead with ease and head Alonso home by 2.4 seconds after backing off in the final lap. It was not a great day for Lewis Hamilton in the other McLaren, who struggled throughout to match his main rivals’ pace, and had Felipe Massa not had to start from the pit lane after his Ferrari stalled on the grid in the original start, he would arguably not have been able to maintain his record of finishing on the podium in every Grand Prix he has driven. As it was the Englishman maintained his championship lead by taking a distant third place, and his aspirations were helped a little when Massa, after a strong recovery drive, was unable to wrest fourth place from BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica. The result leaves Hamilton first on 70 points from Alonso on 58, Raikkonen now up to 52, and Massa on 51. In a reasonable day for BMW Sauber, Nick Heidfeld brought his F1.07 home sixth ahead of the outpaced Renaults of Heikki Kovalainen and Giancarlo Fisichella, which took the final points. Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button had single-stop runs to ninth and 10th places for Honda, the Englishman working very hard in the final third of the race to keep David Coulthard’s Red Bull at bay. Like Massa behind Kubica, they were less than a second apart at the finish. Nico Rosberg should have been a points contender for Williams but lost a lot of time in his first stop and spent the rest of the race fighting back, while team mate Alex Wurz finished 13th after a brush with Scott Speed, which eliminated the American’s Toro Rosso with front-left suspension damage. The final finishers were Takuma Sato, who started from the pit lane in the spare Super Aguri, and Christijan Albers in the Spyker. The other retirements were Mark Webber with hydraulic problems on his Red Bull, the Toyotas of Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher, Tonio Liuzzi’s Toro Rosso, Anthony Davidson’s Super Aguri and Adrian Sutil, whose Spyker’s engine blew up. It may not have been a classic race, but it proved again that the advantage remains with Ferrari as the season reached its midpoint.
