Seth Thomas #38 E90 In-Car

I haven't posted on here in a while but I have been lurking. Having owned several M3s I thought some of you guys might like some VIR in-car footage from my #38 BimmerWorld World Challenge Touring Car. If you haven't seen the race I won't tell you what happens but it was close!

 

Seth thanks for sharing the video.

 

Great Vid. I have not made it all the way through yet, but the car sounds amazing. 325 right?

 

damn 2nd place?
i thought you had him on the straight but he had inside
thanks for sharing and gj!

 

Yup the video is from a 325 where we are bringing in a 2.5L motor from Europe for the basis of the engine.

And yes that was the 2nd place finish. 1st next time ;-)

 

Sequential box? Are all the cars allowed to run that box or just BMW?

 

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Seth. A few years ago, I put the deal together to bring two of the RTR Integras to Panama. After they dominated the series for 3 years straight, they were outlawed!

 

Well done. Better luck next time...

 

Thanks guys. The gearbox in the car is an Xtract sequential which all the cars running in the series are using. Awesome box!

GOB: What ever happened to those cars? You guys don't need any old World Challenge E46 325s do you?

 

Believe it or not the Integras are still kicking *** around here. One of them is pretty much the same way it left RTR's shop, except that it has a spare 2.0l motor besides the old trusty 1.8s. The second car (Pierre's ex championship car) has been heavily modified by changing a bunch of panels into fiberglass or carbon. It also runs a custom made engine by Andy Kahnel/ Curt Jung that makes a TON of power (when it works! HAHAHA). As far as your 325s, the racing here died last year with the new rule changes and people getting fed up with the Integras and the ex Tri Point Mazdas (just way too fast versus the older cars and not everyone here can afford WC cars). Last car bought, but went stratight to Costa Rica is an ex King Motorsports RSX. I actually miss hanging out with the WC crowd and their racing. Last races I was with RTR (just as a "friendly observer") was Sebring and the first race in Miller Motorsports Park (nice track, no?!).
