Munich. Preparations for the 2022 season have also begun in the Italian GT Championship. In this series, the BMW Italia Ceccato Racing team, with touring car legend Roberto Ravaglia (ITA), will enter a new BMW M4 GT3. For the first time, two BMW M Motorsport works drivers will be in action for the team this season; Timo Glock and Jens Klingmann (both GER) will share duties in the BMW M4 GT3 in the Italian GT Championship.

Glock said: “I am delighted to continue as a BMW M Motorsport works driver and am looking forward to joining the team around Roberto Ravaglia and competing with Jens Klingmann in the new BMW M4 GT3 in the Italian GT Championship.”

“I have always kept an eye on the Italian GT Championship from a distance and now I am looking forward to competing there alongside Timo Glock, a fast and experienced team-mate,” Klingmann commented. “There are some great racetracks there and Roberto Ravaglia is a very experienced team manager with a very good team. As drivers, we bring our knowledge of the new BMW M4 GT3 to the table and the clear aim there is to secure the title.”

In preparation for the new season, the team, with Glock and Klingmann, is currently testing at Monza (ITA). The same venue will host the Italian GT Championship season opener on 23rd/24th April. In total, the calendar includes eight events with sprint and endurance races. After Monza, the series is holding races at Pergusa, Misano, Mugello, Imola and Vallelunga (all ITA).
