SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 10, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING - November 10, 2025 - For decades, American BMW privateers had to wrench their own street cars into race shape. Today, they can order a factory-built BMW race car with a parts pipeline, tech support, and a clear pathway from entry level to the top of GT racing. Chapter 45 of PressClub USA's customer-racing history explains how that transformation happened - and why it reshaped paddocks across the U.S.

Why North America was a special challenge
Sanctioning bodies in the U.S. long used rulebooks that didn't match Europe's, which meant BMW's touring and GT customer cars couldn't slot in. While BMW NA's factory team adapted Euro-spec machines for IMSA, private teams had to strip road cars and build them up - roll cages, suspension, brakes, the works. The missing piece wasn't enthusiasm; it was a formal structure for support and parts on this side of the Atlantic.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 22, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 22, 2025 – Ice rinks may soon have their smartest upgrade yet. At FSB 2025 in Cologne, Italian company WM technics is unveiling IceSense, a breakthrough system that transforms ice maintenance into a fully data-driven process. Designed for professional arenas and local ice halls alike, IceSense promises smoother surfaces, lower energy costs, and greener operations — all through the power of precision data.

A new era of ice perfection

Keeping an ice rink in top condition has always been an art. But with IceSense, it becomes a science. The system’s core is a high-precision temperature sensor that continuously monitors the ice during maintenance. Linked with IPS coordinates, the data creates a detailed thermal map visible in the WM Connect app, showing operators exactly where the ice may be too warm, uneven, or energy-draining.
