We’ve seen plenty of great video shot at the world-renown Nurburgring, and this one ranks right up there. It all starts innocently enough, as a twin-turbo E30 M3 minds its own business through the turns, when a canary-yellow Porsche Cerrera GT just flies by the Bimmer’s left flank. From there, the battle-royale ensues.

The M3 held its own in the twisties against Porsche’s fastest, but even with plenty of twice-turbo’d horsepower, in the straights the GT just blew the doors off the older BMW. It’s interesting to note how many bugs met their demise at the hands of the Bimmer’s windshield during the six-minute video. Maybe the bugs were attracted to that funky squeeze toy sound that popped up every time the BMW changed gears.

You can see the whole chase for yourself after the jump.

WPAds is a Wordpress plugin for showing and rotating ads in your blog. You only have to define the ad positions and the ads you want to rotate in each position, and WPAds will serve your ads randomly. WPAds can show contextual ads (ie, Google AdSense, Yahoo Publishers Network, etc) and also image banners.

WPAds works very similarly to many adservers (as for example phpAdsNew), although with a much more limited functionality and specially tailored for using it in Wordpress. The main concepts you have to understand are banners and zones.

A banner is the ad you show, which can be anything from a text contextual ad (as Google AdSense) to a image banner. A zone is a position in the blog where you want to show banners; you can define several zones in each page, as for example the leaderboard, a sidebar position and a body position.

When you create a banner in WPAds you can associate it to one or more zones. In the main WPAds options page, you will see below the banners the list of zones you have defined and the banners associated with each zone (together with the probability of each banner for each zone).
