This week on evo – M3 vs C63, McLaren ride, Forza and more

A look at the most exciting things from the world of evo this week

It’s been a whirlwind week here on evo. If you were one of the thousands of people who kept up with our Le Mans live blog last weekend, thank you – we hope you enjoyed the race as much as we did.
