Munich. Whether in the real world or on the virtual racetrack, motorsport fans feel the same: Appearances are important. With the BMW M4 GT4 ‘Livery Contest’, BMW Motorsport is launching a new design competition in which entrants from the sim racing community can let their creativity run free, and even have their dream design feature on the real-world racetrack. The competition tagline is ‘ THE FUSION OF REAL WORLD AND SIM RACING’. Interested parties can find all the information and materials here: https://b.mw/m4gt4liverycontest_EN

The base car for creating the design is the BMW M4 GT4 as it is used on the sim racing platform iRacing. Since its virtual debut in June, this BMW M Customer Racing car has been extremely popular in the sim community. The winning design will then not only be available to all BMW fans on iRacing, but will also be used in real-world racing. One of the BMW M4 GT4s in the DTM Trophy will be kitted out with the winning car wrap at the Hockenheim (GER) finale on 7th/8th November. The design competition demonstrates once again the various facets sim racing offers beyond the battle for virtual seconds and race wins.

Rudolf Dittrich, General Manager BMW Motorsport Vehicle Development and initiator of the competition, said “I am very excited to see which design will end up winning. I’m really looking forward to the creative submissions from the sim racing community, which shares our love for both motorsport worlds – the virtual one and the real one. We also want to use this to support artists during these difficult times. Having Cao Fei, who designed the innovative BMW M6 GT3 Art Car, on the jury shows just how important this project is to us.”

The Chinese multimedia artist Cao Fei, Michael Scully (Head of Design BMW Motorsport) and BMW works driver Bruno Spengler make up the jury. The BMW Motorsport Community on social media will also be able to have their say in choosing the best designs, via online voting.

The prize for first place is both the implementation of the design on the real BMW M4 GT4 and a cash prize of 3,000 US dollars; second and third place will receive a cash prize of 2,000 and 1,000 US dollars respectively.

The closing date for the designs is 5th August 2020.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
