1981 BMW M1 IMSA GTO Unloading at Rally for the Ranch 2013

This year, the second annual 'Rally for the Ranch' event was held, an exotic car show with an IndyCar race, offering the visitors an exciting evening and 2 days of great automotive experiences.

The whole thing is hosted by the Bobby Rahal Foundation and all funds raised are donated to the Buckeye Ranch, an organization in Ohio serving children and families in the Franklin County area and beyond for over 50 years.

Of course, you already know that Bobby Rahal is a founder and the current Team Manager for BMW Team RLL that competes in the American Le Mans Series, a great guy that also has a soft spot for BMWs.

So, in order to make things interesting and attract a wealthy crowd to the event, Bobby pulled some strings and got some rare cars over there. Amongst them you could spot a BMW-Powered McLaren F1 and a rare 1981 BMW M1 IMSA GTO, both of them truly rare sightings, featured (briefly) in the video below.
