DTM: Top-five finishes for the BMW M6 GT3 at Monza season-opener.

 

The Royal Park in Monza (ITA) hosted last weekend’s opening round of the new GT3 DTM. Among those lining up in the realigned championship were the Walkenhorst Motorsport and ROWE Racing teams with their BMW M6 GT3. Saturday was a tough day, with only Marco Wittmann (GER) making it into the top ten in ninth place in the #11 Walkenhorst Motorsport car. Sheldon van der Linde (RSA) and Timo Glock (GER), both driving for ROWE Racing, finished 12th and 17th.

 

The tide turned for the BMW teams on Sunday, as the BMW M6 GT3 picked up two top-five finishes. Van der Linde had impressed in the #31 car in qualifying, securing third place on the grid. In the race itself, the South African made a spectacular overtaking manoeuvre to pass both Nico Müller (SUI / Audi) and Liam Lawson (NZL / Ferrari) in one go. After the round of pit stops, van der Linde found himself in fourth place, a position he maintained through to the finish. Wittmann made an impressive comeback from eleventh place on the grid and crossed the finish line just behind van der Linde in fifth place. Glock was forced to retire as a consequence of a collision in the jostling for position on lap one.

 

Round two of the 2021 DTM season takes place from 23rd to 25th July at the Lausitzring (GER).

DTM Trophy: Magnificent season-opener for the BMW M4 GT4 at Monza.

 

The DTM Trophy also kicked off the 2021 season at Monza (ITA) at the weekend – and victory in the first two races of the year went to BMW M Motorsport teams and the BMW M4 GT4. The season started with a bang in race one on Saturday, with eight BMW M4 GT4s in the first nine places. It was Ben Green (GBR) from the FK Performance Motorsport team who led from start to finish to convert pole position into victory. He was joined on the podium by his team-mate Moritz Löhner (GER) who comes from an Esports background and finished third in his first ever car race. Positions four to nine also went to BMW M Motorsport teams.

 

In race two on Sunday, Michael Schrey (GER) from the Hofor Racing by Bonk Motorsport team claimed his maiden victory in the DTM Trophy. He led the race in his BMW M4 GT4 for a long time, before eventually crossing the finish line in second place. However, the driver ahead of him was subsequently handed a time penalty for gaining an advantage by leaving the track in a chicane. That saw Schrey promoted to first place. Victory on Sunday and fourth place on Saturday put Schrey second in the championship at the end of the opening weekend, followed by Green and Löhner in third and fourth.

ADAC GT4 Germany: Hofor Racing by Bonk Motorsport dominates in Spielberg.

 

One week before his maiden DTM Trophy win, Michael Schrey (GER) and the Hofor Racing by Bonk Motorsport team dominated proceedings in ADAC GT4 Germany. Schrey and team-mate Gabriele Piana (ITA) were unbeatable again in the #2 BMW M4 GT4 at round two of the season, which took place from 11th to 13th June at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg (AUT). They had previously won both races at the season-opener in May at Oschersleben (GER) – and they repeated that double success in Austria. With four wins from four races, Schrey/Piana and Hofor Racing by Bonk Motorsport hold big leads in both the Driver and Team competitions after two events.

 

The Schubert Motorsport team finished in the top eight in both races at the Red Bull Ring. Michael von Zabiensky and Marcel Lenerz (both GER) were fifth and eighth in the #10 BMW M4 GT4.

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/.
