I didn't watch the whole thing but the Merc GT and Audi R8 were flying. Not a great advert for the regular M6 in the real world either.
Agree. and to make matters worse Mercedes and Audi have been eating up BMW market share in the US. US sales just dropped for the first time in many years. Strange decision to race a car clearly designed as a large heavy autobahn cruiser (M6). The E90/92 M3 GTLM from a few years back was a beast, won races, sounded great, looked great, truly a high water mark for BMW....the Z4 GTLM was odd at first, but fantastic looking and sounding in person, and won races. The M6 GTLM, none of the above.
