Auto Parking: Corvette Museum Planning Huge Motorsports Park

 

Now experience to drive your own car on a track, — and that’s exactly the experience the Corvette Museum is looking to deliver with their new Motorsports Park.

 

Just across the freeway from the museum itself, the park will hold two road courses, one of which will be the longest track in the U.S., plus a karting track, 10-acre autocross pad, skid pad training area and a 1/4 mile dragstrip. In short, it’s Mecca for the motorsports-minded Corvette fan.

 

The overall layout of Motorsports Park is modeled on the Le Mans circuit in France, and the East layout of the track has a corner modeled after the Nurburgring’s Karussel..

 

However, all of this awesome won’t come cheap. The expected budget for the park is $35,000,000, and it will take two to three years to complete. Fundraising is underway, and the bulk of the cost will have to be raised before construction will begin.

Auto Reveal: 2011 BMW X5 M Sport package

BMW has unveiled an M Sport package for the facelifted X5 SUV. The package will be available from spring and includes a retuned chassis, 19-inch M light-alloy wheels in V-spoke design, special tailpipes for the exhaust system, BMW Individual Exterior Line side window frames finished in satin-finish aluminum as well as BMW Individual roof rails in satin-finish chrome.

 

For the driver and front passenger, you will find electrically adjustable sports seats, M leather steering wheel, M driver’s footrest, brushed aluminium interior trim and a BMW Individual roof liner in anthracite.

 

The designers also optimized the front and rear aprons and the optimization did not affect the position of the sensors and cameras used by the Park Distance Control and the Side View systems hence these features still can be combined with the package.
