BMW Team RLL’s celebratory 2016 liveries

This weekend's motorsport highlight is the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The event, which is the first round of the 2016 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, will see BMW's new M6 make its competition debut in both the GTLM and GTD classes.

As 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of BMW, special liveries have been designed for the two M6 GTLM entrants being run by BMW Team RLL this season.

The #25 car adds a twist to the familiar BMW 'white-and-stripes' colour scheme. That's because its flanks and roof feature graphics depicting four exemplars of the brand's racing history: the 1975 3.0 CSL, 1980 M1, 1999 V12 LMR and 2011 M3 GT.

An altogether more futuristic look adorns the appropriately-numbered #100 M6 GTLM. Although the finish appears to be predominantly white in daylight, reflective vinyl applied in a lattice pattern should provide an eye-catching effect after sunset.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
