Sebring. The anniversary weekend in Sebring (USA), celebrating the 50^th birthday of BMW of North America, brought both highlights and setbacks for BMW M Motorsport. The 73^rd edition of the famous Twelve Hours of Sebring marked the second round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IWSC). As at the season opener in Daytona (USA), Dries Vanthoor (BEL) in the #24 BMW M Hybrid V8 of the BMW M Team RLL secured the pole position. In the race itself, the #24 fell far back due to an unavoidable collision. The #25 sister car finished fifth. The new BMW M4 GT3 EVO celebrated a double podium in the GTD PRO class, with the two Paul Miller Racing cars taking second and third places. Additionally, there was a first victory for the new BMW M4 GT4 EVO in Sebring.

Historic SportsCar Racing from Sebring, FL March 3, 2007

Headed back to Sebring...

Jeff Seabrook Site News Wednesday December 4, 2024

I'm excited to announce that I'm headed back to Sebring International Raceway for the Historic SportsCar Racing races with photo / media credentials tomorrow morning and returning on Friday afternoon. I'm stoked as I haven't photographed race cars since 2009, my last active year. I'm working on getting back into it, with hopes to return to Road Atlanta next year. I'll post all of the photos in the gallery once I get the photos processed, possibly this Sunday the 8th.

Presentation of the BMW M4 GT3 EVO at the Nürburgring: BMW M Motorsport makes the successful model even better.

Jeff Seabrook Site News Wednesday May 29, 2024

BMW M Motorsport engineers have been working intensively to make their flagship in GT racing, the BMW M4 GT3, even better. The result of this work is the EVO version of the car, which was presented on Wednesday evening before the 24 Hours at the Nürburgring (GER) in the M Showroom at the ring°boulevard.

Nürburgring. BMW M Motorsport engineers have been working intensively to make their flagship in GT racing, the BMW M4 GT3, even better. The result of this work is the EVO version of the car, which was presented on Wednesday evening before the 24 Hours at the Nürburgring (GER) in the M Showroom at the ring°boulevard. The BMW M4 GT3 EVO will be in race action from the 2025 season. The same applies to the BMW M4 GT4, which will also have an EVO version available from next season.

Video for editorial use: Jens Klingmann explains the updates to the BMW M4 GT3 EVO: https://b.mw/M4_GT3_EVO (link valid at the date and time this article was published, 4:36pm 05/29/2024)

The key to optimising the BMW M4 GT3 for the BMW M Motorsport engineers was the intensive dialogue with teams and drivers, because only when you know what customers need to be able to optimally drive a GT car can you tailor it perfectly to their needs. Thus, the focus with the BMW M4 GT3 EVO was not necessarily on pure performance but on areas such as drivability, efficiency, and reliability. The test work was primarily undertaken by BMW M works drivers Jens Klingmann (GER), Bruno Spengler (CAN), and Augusto Farfus (BRA). The price of the car is 578,000 euros net.

Well, with all of the photos I've taken with the Corvette Guitar - I had never taken any with my 1990 BMW 325i - just so happened to come across a 1991 318i at the car show and figured...why not?

Nice to meet you today, Mike - hope to see you at the show in October (the event info is here: Vettes for Vets II - Car Show and Fundraiser for VFW Post 4225)

Need for Speed: it's on it's way back here...

Jeff Seabrook Site News Tuesday August 22, 2023

Back in the day (1999) there was a PC and Playstation video game called "Need for Speed" and it had quite a few versions, specifically version 3 (Hot Pursuit) and version 4 (High Stakes). I was making (as best I could, they weren't that good) cars that you could download and play in the game. Also, I was modifying tracks so that you could download and play a custom track in the game as well. I even did a track modeled after Sebring International Raceway (I'll have to see if I still have it). Also, there were good friends, NFS Will and Nicolas LaFortune whom both helped make me make cars and tracks. Going to be working on bringing this back over the next few days...standby...
