Three teams and many BMW works drivers compete in the BMW M6 GT3 at the Nürburgring 24 Hours.

The Nürburgring 24 Hours (GER) will take place on 26th/27th September, several months later than originally planned. Although the 50th anniversary of the endurance classic on the Nordschleife will be held in difficult circumstances, BMW M Motorsport still fields a strong contingent as it looks for overall victory number 20 for BMW.

Munich. The Nürburgring 24 Hours (GER) will take place on 26th/27th September, several months later than originally planned. Although the 50th anniversary of the endurance classic on the Nordschleife will be held in difficult circumstances, BMW M Motorsport still fields a strong contingent as it looks for overall victory number 20 for BMW. Some of the best BMW works drivers in GT racing will be at the wheel of the five BMW M6 GT3s which will be run by BMW Team Schnitzer, ROWE Racing and Walkenhorst Motorsport. This weekend’s ROWE 6 Stunden ADAC Ruhr-Pokal-Rennen serves as a dress rehearsal for the teams and drivers.

 

“Like the whole motorsport season, this year’s 24-hour race will be held under difficult circumstances,” said BMW Group Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt. “This event, more than most others, thrives on the unique atmosphere around the circuit. That makes it all the more disappointing that the 50th anniversary – of both the race and the first BMW victory – cannot be held in the festival environment that we all love and are used to. Despite that, we will do everything we can to put on a great show. Our goal is to challenge for the 20th overall victory for BMW with the BMW M6 GT3. To achieve that, we have a whole host of strong drivers and proven Nordschleife experts in our squad.”

 

ROWE Racing and Walkenhorst Motorsport will each field two BMW M6 GT3s, while BMW Team Schnitzer will run one car.

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 are available at www.bmw.de/wltp and at www.dat.de/co2/.
