The weekend ahead is looking pretty familiar, but this is the off-season. The next motorsport event in 2013 is the 24 Hours of Daytona, so look forward to it. In the meantime I've gotten a little closer to clarifying project car plans for the year. Look for a post on that sooner than later. In the meantime, enjoy some more 80's DTM motorsport pron.
