On March 21st, 2009 Sports Car Advisors visited Sebring International Raceway for the 2009 12 Hours of Sebring.   Delayed flights into Florida and bad weather on the way up to the raceway put us behind schedule and so we did not catch the start of the race.  By the time we arrived at Sebring, the new BMW M3’s had already DNF’d.

Aside from the always competitive racing of the ALMS cars, one of the highlights was the Porscheplatz.  Porsche Club of American (PCA) always does a great job of putting in a nice hospitality tent for members and aligning member Porsches for viewing.  Sports Car Advisors was welcomed into the Porscheplatz as fellow PCA members watched the race in the tent, we browsed the gorgeous Porsches parked in the grass nearby.  Following are some of the great pictures of the Porsches we found.

The BMW Art Cars have arrived in New York City and are on display in Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall through April 6th, 2009.  Walking into Vanderbilt Hall and seeing these cars is simply amazing.  Most impressive is the burst of color, particularly the Roy Lichtenstein 320i and the Andy Warhol M1.

The exhibit is five cars in total.  Included in the exhibit are the 1977 Group 5 Racing 320i painted by Roy Lichtenstein, the 1976 3.0 CSL painted by Frank Stella, the 1979 Group 4 Racing M1 painted by Andy Warhol, the 1986 635csi painted by R. Raushenberg, and the Z4 Roadster which was driven through wet paint on canvas-like surface to create a 30 by 40 foot.  The Z4 painting was by artist Robin Rhode. (more…)
