Polizei Racing Adds Peter Ludwig to Homestead Grand-Am Race Roster!

Polizei 144 Racing is delighted to add a NEW co-driver to our roster…and I’m talking about a character as big as yours truly, yet quite the opposite, for I’m talking about Master Pilot Peter Ludwig (above right).  Other than his huge personality and brobdignian modesty, Herr Ludwig is my opposite in almost every way: winner of numerous races in multiple series (including Koni Challenge), expert at both short distance and endurance racing.

On behalf of Polizei Racing Captain Rene Villeneuve, Master Pilot Henri Richard, El Jefe Liz Moses and everyone at Polizei HQ, it’s truly a delight to have Herr Ludwig join the TRG/Polizei 63 entry in this weekend’s Rolex Grand Am race in Homestead, Florida…

Alex Roy vs. Tanner Foust @ Laguna Seca!

I strap into the back of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo to play driving games the proper way…while getting driven around the track by Skip Barber instructor/Polizei Racing Captain/Grand-Am driver Rene Villeneuve.

Tanner, your move.

Villeneuve On Racing, Part 2

(This is Part 2 of Polizei Racing Team Captain Rene Villeneuve‘s ongoing series about a life spent racing. Read Part 1 here.)

Enter Alex Roy…I thought he was pretty crazy when I first met him, and those of you who know him know I was right to think so. But it didn’t take long for me to discover he had something, and I wasn’t sure even he knew he had it.  He was doing a great job promoting his book at the time, but it seemed what he was really promoting was himself. Sure he’s a great personality and a wonderful speaker, not to mention the things he’s done that most people only dream about. The rest of us are trying to prove our self worth through extreme sports and stunts, as nowadays it seems that if you’re willing hurt yourself on TV someone will watch.  There’s no other rhyme or reason to it all.  It’s just silly.

Picking up where we left off after a well-deserved vacation, I’m kicking back into gear with some more of our hi-rez wallpapers culled from the very best images from Team Polizei Racing.

Team Polizei To Rub Shoulders With Nascar? Gently. At Watkins Glen. For Love. 146.

There’s only one thing Polizei Founder Alex Roy & Team Kapitan Rene Villeuneuve heart more than Love 146, Guardian Angel Motorsports and TRG…and that’s racing itself. We’ve gone cross-country, around the world and into Grand-Am, but this week we’re going to take our first step into something even I never thought we would. We’re going to take our first peek into NASCAR. No, Polizei isn’t entering NASCAR, but…

But Polizei friend and ally Andy Lally is. Under TRG’s NASCAR program, Lally – someone Rene and I have long discussed as a potentially fantastic Polizei pilot (if only he could be convinced to wear the uniform) – well, Andy Lally is taking TRG’s NASCAR car around Watkins, which means…

Which means that Rene and I – sports car fans who, shall we say…have never really eaten from the NASCAR buffet – will be deploying Polizei’s traditional(!) coverage to an arena of motorsports unfamiliar with our approach, let alone commentary.

I’ve always wanted to know how NASCAR could possibly grab a sports car/GT driver’s attention, so that’s where Rene & I are going to go, with Lally as our man. Whether Lally can convince us, live – through video, audio and/or any other method we can get functional – in/on a car that is…er…not quite the same as 144P…

We’re going to find out. Don’t go looking for Polizei’s Mobile HQ booth on Sunday’s race day, because we’ll be deploying all assets to follow Lally throughout, so if you want to follow us, you’ll be able to do so online…starting tomorrow, with a lot more info and some even newer surprises. Topic 1? Rene & I debate NASCAR. Topic 2? Lally’s co-pilot. Topic 3? Why do this at all? :-)

And don’t forget to help us help Love 146
