Continuity and new beginning at the same time

Parallel to Formula 1 racing BMW will once again be participating in the
American Le Mans Series (ALMS) in 2001. The third season of the long distance
series is seeing something of a renaissance: BMW is now going for gold with a
racing version of the new M3 in the GT category.
