In this case, that mention takes the form of an appearance package for the midsize sedan called the M5 Edition 35 Years. M is for More Power: BMW M5 Competition Has Way More Power Than Advertised ⠀ Watch BMW M5 Competition Accelerate Like A Supercar To Top Speed To make it happen, the automaker mobilized its BMW Individual group for some special touches that suggest this Bimmer likes to tread on the dark side.

Supercars: Mount Panorama 500 was a one-off
The Mountain hosted a sprint round to open the 2021 season last weekend, with a pair of 250-kilometre single-driver races won by Shane van Gisbergen. It was the first time the famous circuit had been used for a single-driver Supercars race in a quarter of a century.

The MP500 was a direct reaction to the pandemic, with the Supercars-owned Bathurst 12 Hour unable to go ahead due to Australia's tough border controls . That freed up an event slot at Mount Panorama and opened the door for Supercars to re-negotiate with the New South Wales state government after the 2020 Newcastle 500 was called off because of the health crisis. The outcome was a single-driver race at Bathurst to open this season, with Newcastle set to return as the season-opener in 2022 . According to Supercars CEO Sean Seamer the Newcastle deal means the Mount Panorama 500 won't return, … [Read more...] about Supercars: Mount Panorama 500 was a one-off
