The ALMS V8 BMWs were going to be produced in enough numbers to be
homologated, but they wanted to race them before they were official.
Porsche put pressure on the LeMans rulemakers so BMW couldn't get
away with it.  Of course Porsche has raced cars in LeMans before they
were official using the same rationale, but the BMWs were such a threat
that Porsche had to resort to politicking...  Kind of like what happened to
Audi in DTM.

That car is gorgeous, and was purpose built.  There is another Maranello
racing as well, but it's more stock and the paint is boring.

BTW the Joest teams _do_ race against one another.  It's just a shame
when it helps a non-Audi team.  It will be interesting how long they keep
Biela.  He's a great driver when he's not making stupid mistakes.
