Motorsport Pron Feature: Leh Keen's Rain Dance - 24 Hours Nürburgring (Drive)

Have you ever watched an endurance race and wondered what it's like dicing it up with multiple classes of cars in the worst of weather conditions? Drive brings us the helmet cam of pro-drive Leh Keen, piloting a 911 GT3R during this years 24 Hours of Nürburgring. This should give some of you a better idea of why this circuit claims lives annually. I know this footage is from a race, but 4:08 looks quite familiar to me. Ahem. Turn it up and enjoy, then watch Leo's interview with him.

Motorsport Pron: Formula Ford EcoBoost. Street Legal Racer on Road and Nürburgring (Drive)

ROTL favorite Chris Harris brings us this week's Motorsport Pron. Unlike here in the US where such arrangements are never road legal, Ford created a Formula Ford street car using the race car, detuning it's award winning 1.0 litre, 3-cylinder, Ecoboost engine down to 170hp (from 205hp in race trim) and adding headlights, turn signals and brake lights. Then Chris takes it to the streets...and finally the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Enjoy.
