Deep in the heart of New York City, we found a unicorn. A unicorn that we're going to be racing through the 2017 American Endurance Racing series this year. The car is a 2010 C300 Mercedes Benz 6 speed and it sat alone next to a set of supercars, the most notable neighbors were an i8 and...

It's happening!  We are going racing!  FCP Euro has entered a BMW Spec E30 in American Endurance Racing's first event of 2016 at the iconic, and freshly repaved, Watkins Glen International in New York! Why AER?   From AER's website, "Racing is about finding an advantage. At AER, we want to...

There is so work much to do.  Where to begin?   In my latest post, I mentioned that the BMW E30 is well balanced, reliable, relatively quick, and pretty cheap to maintain.  I have a fair amount of experience with the BMW E30 and probably north of 200 track days in them, so I've seen my fair...

An endurance race is true test of man and machine.  It takes a reliable car, a strategy, money, and a team.  Having FCP Euro on our team has helped get us the parts that (hopefully) will get us through 18 hours of grueling racing.  But you can't just have a reliable car. The people behind the...

While leading our class at Watkins Glen during the second 9-hour race with American Endurance Racing on April 24, our BMW E30's engine stopped working. It was pulling hard in 4th gear going up the esses and then, BANG! After getting towed back to the pits and pulling the valve cover, we diagnosed...

In case you haven't read the article yet, we broke a connecting rod in our relatively stock BMW M20B25 during our last race at Watkins Glen.  The engine may still be salvageable, but with only about a month before our next race at Palmer Motorsports Park, I thought it may be best to find a good...

Round 3 of American Endurance Racing was held at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville NJ.  South Jersey in the middle of July is a sauna.  Add in wearing a 3 layer nomex suit, a 120*F cockpit, and a non-functioning coolsuit, it makes for some challenging conditions to compete in an endurance...

As we prepare our e30 BMW 325i for this weekend's race at Summit Point, it's crazy to think how far we've come and how much we've learned from our first three races. Our little e30 has raced for 47 hours so far this year. That doesn't even include practice, qualifying, and testing. I think it's...

What a crazy weekend! Nate Vincent and I entered an 18-hour race at a track we'd never been to, with just the two of us driving, and only FCP's own Gareth Foley on crew duties. Most teams have at least three drivers and a handful of crew, but this weekend we had to deal with the cards we were...
