Racecar Backwards Is Still racecaR: 1983 Mazda RX-7

I love racing as much as the next guy, but it gets really expensive...quickly.  Even if you race something simple and non-vintage/non-collectible, it starts with a basic used car that you'll need to replace every wear component before you start with safety, and then get to "performance/racing" parts...and I get exhausted just thinking about how much work it is going to be...however, you can save yourself time and money by buying someone elses money pit.  Like this 1983 Mazda RX-7 here on eBay with a buy-it-now of $5900 located in San Diego, CA.

Racecar: 1963 Triumph Spitfire

Coffee Brake: DT Logo On A Racecar Heading To the Nürburgring

In case you haven't noticed, we like things cheap here at Daily Turismo.  Sponsoring a big budget race car like we're Target, Tide or Home Depot isn't exactly in the cards.  However, getting a small sticker on a car headed to the 24 Hours of Nürburgring for less than the price of a steak dinner, that sounds like something we could do.  A team called Rotek Racing is trying to get to the Nürburgring 24 Hours race in their Audi TTRS by offering cheap sponsorship options via an indiegogo campaign that is a few thousand dollars short of their goal with 2 days to go.
