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.

Is Using A Minotaur To Gore Detainees A Form Of Torture?
I say it’s effective. Do it. Check out this amazing screen capture….
TRG’s Andy Lally (and his mother) discuss his first outing in NASCAR, both before and after his first ever effort even to qualify. After making his name in sports car racing, a single lap will determine whether he is in or out…
It was Morley vs. Roy in Forza. It was many things. It was amazing. It was MotoGP @ Laguna Seca. And Team Polizei WILL return. Because I...WE...loved every minute among our 2-wheeled friends. And they enjoyed watching Morley crush Roy. Once. Just once.
Have you ever felt the like the best part of an epic wasn’t the actual driving, but the stories and friends made on the way? That’s the feeling among all at Team Polizei after our first Moto GP weekend.
Danny Pedrosa gave The Doctor some bad medicine, but that was only 48 minutes of our far more grueling 76 hour deployment at Laguna Seca. We made some great friends, including soldiers, police officers and myriad emergency personnel - native and foreign, active and retired - every one of them a fascinating and delightful new face we hope to see again…on the road preferably, for it’s those chance second meetings that only occur on the road - far from home - that make life worth living.
As for Roy…the Forza 2 king wwas dethroned and new champions were crowned. We ate too much pizza and didn’t get nearly enough sleep. Wearing a helmet and leathers on two wheels may be crazier than driving on four, but is anything crazier than us wearing some…er…newly de-classified helmets whilst droving 144B? Probably not. Except for El Jefe Liz Moses getting on TV again. Again. Or maybe Team Polizei’s Mystery Racing Theater 3000 commentary on the actual race.
About which Alex Roy knew nothing. And still knows nothing. He was too busy buying motocycle helmets to match his outfits, solely to use them as man purses. Yes. It’s true. He doesn’t even know how to ride. A bicycle…maybe.
Would we do a Moto GP weekend again?
Is the E39 M5 the best BMW made?
Thanks for all your support…we will be posting more news and picsin the next few days!

The ultimate irony of Team Polizei’s existence - if not the reason for its survival, if not growth - is our popularity among law enforcement.
I don’t mean popularity as in speeding tickets…I mean actual popularity, which is why Team Polizei hereby invites ALL members of law enforcement - on or off-duty, uniformed or plainclothed - to come join us @ The Rolex Grand-Am Race this weekend at Watkins Glen. If we’ve met, you know who you are. If not, come anyway. We’ve got a lot to talk about.
And if you’re coming, let us know via e-mail.
Er…and if you’re interested, we sure wouldn’t mind a police escort - for our own safety, of course - anywhere along the route from NYC to Watkins Glen…say…Friday…

Team Polizei rides again just 7 days from now, redeploying our Mobile HQ 3000 miles east for the Rolex Grand-Am Series Race @ Watkins Glen International Raceway, where we will be demonstrating the power of our fully operational battle station…er…I meant…where we & partner TRG will be opening the arsenal to further expand our unique trackside operations, demonstrate some of the video technologies tested @ Laguna Seca, and unveil…well, here’s but a hint of what’s coming June 5-6:
1) MYSTERY RACING THEATER - Find shelter from the elements and come join our LIVE RACECAST - in person or online - as Roy, Villeneuve, Richard, Johnson and countless special (and infamous) guests - including members of the law enforcement, sanitation, professional motorsports and tuner communities - cover the race as no other panel can, would, or should.
2) POLIZEI vs. YOU FORZA MOTORSPORT CHALLENGE - Think you’re good at Forza? Face the anvil of Team Polizei’s skill. See your chances grow slim as Master Pilots Roy & Villeneuve prepare yet another round of annihilatory death blows to the confidence of those who think Traction Control and Stability Management should remain on.
3) NEW GEAR: THE POLIZEI 144 SKIRMISH 1 - Behold the unsheathing of our newest weapon, the SKIRMISH 1 Mid-Weight jacket, field-tested at Laguna Seca, totally customizable via our KONFIGURATOR, and available only through Polizei 144, unless you come to Watkins Glen next weekend…where Roy & Villeneuve will sign yours with a personalized message - highly useful should you be pulled over on the way home.

Villeneuve just stopped by the Nerve Center to sign hero cards for the adoring hordes of Polizei fans. Meanwhile, Roy was in the paddock with the other TRG Porsche racers collecting some autographs of his own. The other racers have been nothing but supportive — offering appreciative words of encouragement like, “The car, the team & you are all the absolute bottom of the racing world. A true embarassment,” (Spencer Pumpelly) and “Watch your cornhole!” (John Potter & Craig Stanton). Meanwhile, ‘09 Daytona 24 GT champ Andy Lally had some unprintably joyous praise for Herr Roy’s Oscar Koveleski-tribute scarf and Josemanuel Guiterrez referred to us as “Pinche loco!!!” We’ll cop to that. And, of course, we return all the love and affection offered us — doubly so, in fact.

Yes that’s right. We’re broadcasting live from the cockpit of our baby, the 144P.
We can’t believe it either.

TURN UP THE VOLUME & watch in HD if you can.
THIS is IT.
THIS is what all of the videos we’ve posted in recent months…yes…THOSE videos which had no apparent purpose or explanation…THIS is what they’ve all been leading up to:
Behold. Polizei Interceptor 144P in ALL its tentacled glory.
Watch as Rene Villeneuve takes her around Infineon Raceway for the first time as we prep for our debut at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Sunday May 17th.
I couldn’t be more proud than to see Villeneuve & Henri Richard pilot 144P in Polizei livery starting this Sunday.
I wish them the best of luck.
