Webclips


Hello,
Welcome to webclips, let’s start with a BMW Motorsport video of Augustus Farfus (DTM driver) giving his wife Liri Farus a ride around the Nurburgring in an M3, clearly Liri isn’t a good passenger! http://bit.ly/Q1zAH4
This one is interesting, a Smoking Tyre car comparison/review, this time they compare the Porsche Caymen R with the BMW 1M with some interesting results: http://bit.ly/PLFVHg and whilst we are on the subject of comparisons here’s one of the 3013 M5 and a 2013 Porsche Panamera GTS in what is tagged as an “epic super sedan showdown”… http://bit.ly/U7Q8nH
The nest one is topical (well it was when I found it), it’s actually an advert by Samsung as a sponsor of the London 2012 Paralympics, it’s titled “Sport doesn’t care who you are – Everyone can take part” and it’s quite thought provoking http://bit.ly/SuUul2
Here’s a BMW UK film about David Weir “Man and Machine”, BMW have attempted to show the connection between driver and car in the way that David has a connection with his wheelchair, I’m not sure that they have hit the spot but the insight into David’s training is well worth a look: http://bit.ly/VpQUua
Now for some fun, if you have ever seen anything that Alex Roy is involved in then you will realise that driving, speed and fun and games are usually involved, however, in this case the speed element is missing…. http://bit.ly/SYb2UH
Here are a couple from Chris Tranter, the first is a little weird (it’s all in Swedish) but a great bit of insight into Alpina from a 1992 TV Program: http://bit.ly/U7Sov9 (the wheels on the B12 could do with a refurb!) and the second, also Alpina, is much more up to date and is of a B6 GT3 car (driver Dominik Schwager) at the Nurburgring, I love those machine gun style gear-changes: http://bit.ly/SAC3sg
How about some fun? A self-styled super hero with “silly string” and generally having fun in a Spiderman kid of way, you must watch this! http://bit.ly/O93OKB
If any of you are familiar with Evo magazine or Pistonheads then you will have heard of Chris Harris, Chris is quite an opinionated chap but he’s a good driver and puts together a great video, here he is invited to go on a tyre launch which involves a Lancia Delta S4, Lancia 037, Stratos (amongst others) and also Markku Alen and Juha Kankkunen ….quite a line up! http://bit.ly/KS3uhi
And finally a bit of E21 action in the form of a hillclimb car, it’s a 2 litre car with about 220 BHP, looks and sounds fantastic http://bit.ly/gGRG4h
