Team Project Overdrive
Five people, all with a passion of automobiles gathered together to join a race. And why these people, which are seemingly random joined forces to join a race? Well, they are actually the moderators of an well known automobile forum, Project Overdrive. And they are joining the race because they wanted to celebrate for the fact that they are celebrating the 5th anniversary of the creation of the forums.

This is actually the base model of the 2nd generation F7 series with a 149 hp 2.6 liter inline-6. It’s too large an handles like a large sedan, however the German full-size sedan accelerates well for its size (9 seconds 0-100 time) and was known for it’s reliability. The group actually bought the vehicle for the race, for some reason.
