Dr. Emre Kayaalp, better known as LanEvo on the GRM forum, is bringing a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16, the same car that Ayrton Senna used to prove his driving prowess early in his racing career. Is its 185-horsepower, Cosworth-tuned heart enough to take on the already competitive field?

Come on ... seriously?
Don't be so hasty; when you're out of the car just start being mercurial. On track pass cars with two wheels on grass. That should get you 2/3rds of the way there.
I'm 1000% behind the 190 here! Go LanEvo!
I like LanEvo's MB being in there. It's always a intresting mix of cars. Is there some explanation of the driver's requirements? I understand the car's have to pass a safety inspection but the driver is not clear to me.
They did check. I've had active club racing (BMW CCA) and vintage racing licenses since at least 2014. I only make it to about 1-3 race weekends a year, but that's enough experience to keep out of trouble for the most part.

You can do it!

Go LanEvo go!
