Hey, I'm watching the 24 hours of Daytona right now, and I thought I saw an 6er. So I waited around until it listed engine and chassis, and sure enough, there's an M6 in the race. Does anybody have any info on this car?

Yep!! You're right! Just checked the homepage!!

Last team listed... BMW M6 - but no more infos, if standard or a special race version...

Yeah, there are a few odd cars in there. Couple Mustangs (one a Cobra R) and stuff like that. I hope they show the M6. I keep thinking I see it when the DPs pass it, but I'm not sure. But score one for knowing my taillights, haha.

Yea the team is called "Automatic Racing". They normally race M3's in other cometitions. This chassis is made by Riley I believe, which are the same manufacturers as the RX8's and DP's. The engine is the E39 M5's V8... tuned obviously.

I'm going to go to VIR in late April to watch the Rolex Series. Last time, they let me sit in the only M3 (although it did horribly since it was so old by then), so hopefully I'll get to do the same with the M6.

How is the car doing?

Currently, the number 90 is running 4th from the bottom in GT, but it's still running, which says something in this race where a lot of people have been knocked out.

Just wanted to ask, why it is still running - 24 hours... ...right!

There is a Riley GT 6 series made for the GT class. Dinan has one for sale now in Autoweek for $300,000.

Turning left for 24 hours?

It's the roadcourse... so a few other turns too. Here's a few shots of the car. I think it looks fantastic
