Today, Maserati announced it would debut the new Maserati GranTurismo MC during the FIA GT Media Days at the Paul Ricard circuit in France. The GranTurismo MC is based on the Maserati GranTurismo S, and the Concept debuted last September at Monza in Italy, and appeared at the Paris Motor Show. It features a 4.5-liter V-8 engine, of which the output has not yet been disclosed.

Maserati will sell a limited series of the GranTurismo MC, beginning in October, for drivers who wish to race in the 2010 GT4 European Cup and the national series. The price should be around 135,000 Euros, the current equivalent of almost $181,000 U.S.

According to this article, "Max Mosley has revealed plans for a 'world engine'" that would be used in the three FIA categories, Formula 1, Formula 2 and World Rally Championship.

Aston Martin announced yesterday the debut of its factory entry in the Le Mans Series. The Aston Martin LMP1 car, pictured above, will make its entrance in Barcelona in the 1000 kilometers of Catalunya.

The new car has been tested very little, so the beginning of the Le Mans Series will be the team’s chance to truly test the LMP1 in preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.

Once again, Audi proved that their clean diesel technology can indeed prevail in the racing circuit. Their new R15 Le Mans car dominated at the 12 Hours of Sebring race, coming in a whopping 22 seconds ahead of the runner-up Peugeot.

The 12 Hours Of Sebring marks the first race for Audi's new R15, which continues on the success of previous R8 and R10 Le Mans cars. However, this is not to say that Peugeot didn't put up a good fight with its diesel-powered 908 HDi cars. In fact, the Audi and Peugeot swapped lead places a total of twenty-three times before the R15 finally took the first place finish.

The 2009 American Le Mans series kicks off this weekend with the 12 Hours Of Sebring race. Qualifying sessions were held earlier this week and Scott Dixon of De Ferran Motorsports managed to secure the pole position for Acura driving the new ARX-02A, managing to beat out the new Audi R15 and the Peugeot 908 HDi.

Of course, the Audi R15 will be the big news of Sebring this year. Can Audi once again prove that TDI diesel power can dominate in motorsports? We'll have to wait until we get the official results from Saturday's race to see.

Race start is at 10:35am eastern on Speed Channel.
