Rear View Mirror 4-21-14

Rear View Mirror has got a full plate of racing goodness ready for you to take huge bite of.

World Endurance Championships, Formula One China, British Touring Car Championship and the Supercar Challenge.

Words, video and more,

This week I offer a real RVM challenge for those seeking to earn a gift request. Tell me what car the RVM thumb is of. This time no clues from a huge album of photos of the same car. Although, this car was featured in Heavy Metal Affliction.

Happy RVM folks!

John

The car in the thumbnail is the adventador, but My favorite part of the article was the slomo LGTE, the Ferrari that made third looked sick. And the Aston that took first was amazing!!

Another great article, John! There was not much for me to watch this weekend, as Nascar has the week off; however, the Pirelli World Challenge at Long Beach was a good race, with both Cadillacs taking the top spots in the GT class and the Kia taking the win in the GTS.
As for your RVM challenge, I’m stumped at the moment, but judging the pic the car’s definitely '80s to early '90s.

Hi,

Great round up of this weeks events. As for the thumbnail, It looks like a Mercedes-Benz 190E. If its possible I would like to request the Alpinestars car pack.

Really excited for WEC to start up again. As far as the car in the thumb… it’s a 1990ish Mercedes-Benz 190E (take your pick of model trim). I would love a gift for Forza 5, but I don’t really know what! Lol. Surprise me!

This weekend’s Formula 1 race wasn’t too interesting. I personaly don’t like Vettel but I feel bad for him having so many problems. Alonso really pulled it off this weekend, nice podium. It looks like the new boss for Ferrari is making a bit of difference in the performance. Mercedes are in a row and I have a feeling the domination of Vettel will happen again, this time for the german team.

im goin for a 190e merc…

Hey John,
Originally thought the car in the photo was the 1979 Subaru Wagon that was featured in a previous HMA. But then realized the 79 Subaru mirror was not integrated into the front trim of the window. So I am also thinking 1980’s Merc 190E, but honestly not sure if this was a featured HMA car.

Also great read as always and you certainly covered a lot of racing news.
Thanks for the included videos and great work.

Definitely A Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4! Maybe a different model or year? not sure but it’s for sure a Lamborghini cause of those stock wheel’s. & obviously the Lambo Bull Logo in the center of the rim’s gives some of it away! :slight_smile:

Great read and vids as always John. I really enjoyed watching the BTCC over the Easter weekend, much more than F1. And I love endurance racing, looking forward to great year of endurance racing and of course Le Mans later in the year.

The car in the thumb is the Lamborghini Aventador and an awesome looking car it is.

Thanks for a great article John, they always get the week off to a good start.

Well another great read
Loved the BTTC race day but not over excited about the F1 race, Got a bit boring after the opening races.

The thumbnail is the Merc 190 in my eyes. Hope I’m right.

Oops… That’s a tough one though… i can name off 100+ car’s with similar mirror’s & never guess the right one. Banner, Thumbnail… The Differences really do matter! should of specified which photo, i know you said thumbnail. but should of made it a bit open that it’s not the News Banner. BLeH! :slight_smile:

Great RVM, although I’m getting fed up with seeing Jason Plato always at the top in the BTCC, sorry, but the guy just rubs me up the wrong way, it would be nice to see a younger man there for a change!

Guess the Mirror? Mercedes 190E
