Adrenalin trailer: Time For Tea?

There's a film out soon documenting BMW in touring cars. Trailer looks good. Really good

---

"If you're a Formula 1 driver you want to drive for Ferrari and if you're a touring car driver, you want to drive for BMW". So says Steve Soper, the first BMW touring car legend interviewed in this trailer for Adrenalin.

The film's premise is very simple, and one to excite petrolheads everywhere. This is not a big screen production like Senna, instead a more esoteric documentary featuring what appears some glorious period footage and heroes of tin top motorsport.

The list includes Hans-Joachim Stuck, Jo Winkelhock, Roberto Ravaglia and Johnny Cecotto amongst many more. The car list, or what we can see in this short vid, is fairly phenomenal too; Group 5 3 Series E21s, Batmobiles and DTM E30 M3s right up to the modern stuff.

It promises an awful lot and the trailer is beautifully done. The DVD and Bluray are out in November and looks like being a Christmas must-have for any touring car fan.

See the video here.

@ 00:55 - ahh, those were the days... when a chap would get a jaunty wave from a fräulein standing trackside while wearing a polkadot bikini and an air hostess's hat - WTF??!!

Never been a fan of the road cars particularly but I have to admire their commitment to touring car racing over the years. And some of the cars have been so damned iconic. Another excuse for this maybe?-

Looks fantastic!!

[P4ROT]

I'll have me some of that.

Looks promising.

And the cars sound better than current f1 :

[Shuttle Cock]

That looks bloody fantastic!

[daytona365]

They turn virtually any other car into non entities.

And why not. Those wheels/tyres look wider than say, Lamborghini's offerings?

Excellent.

Will definitely have to get this! History and proper racing action without all the artificial drama and fluff that Hollywood adds.

I think any form of racing from the '60s/'70s sounds better than current F1! Never been a fan of modern F1 (even back in the V10 days). I'm just not a fan of the high-pitched wail that modern F1 cars make. The old cars actually sound like proper engines, not air-raid sirens!
