The ACO cracks down on BMW GT3R

[KC]

The ACO has cracked down on the BMW M3 GTR and any other non-production racers in the GT3 class. The BMW raced in the ALMS is not a production vehicle and will be saddled with 20% smaller intake restrictors until BMW makes good on homologation. The ACO requires a certain amount of units made with unibody/chassis and road version of engine produced per month. The current BMW M3 GTR uses a 4.0 liter V8 engine and is not offered in their current 3 series production lineup. How this will affect BMW racing the M3 GTR at LeMans is unknown for now. This should make Porsche happy as their more production oriented 911 GT3 has been seriously out gunned by the faster BMW to date.
