BMW M Motorsport News, 18th August 2026.

Björn Lellmann, Head of Customer Racing at BMW M Motorsport:

"In many racing series, things tend to quiet down in August due to the summer break, but last weekend things really heated up at the Nürburgring. Congratulations to Marco Wittmann and Schubert Motorsport on their fantastic DTM victory! At the same time, I’d like to congratulate Michael Schrey on another double win in the BMW M2 Cup, as well as FK Performance Motorsport and ME Motorsport on their podium finishes with the BMW M4 GT4 EVO. The fan-favorite appearance of the BMW M3 Touring 24H completed our car line-up at the Nürburgring. Also last weekend, Century Motorsport secured podium finishes in the British GT with both the BMW M4 GT3 EVO and the BMW M4 GT4 EVO. The success stories of our customer racing cars continue."

Nürburgring (14th-16th August): Intense programme with BMW M3 Touring 24H, BMW M2 Cup, and ADAC GT4 Germany.

From the perspective of BMW M Motorsport, the ADAC race weekend at the Nürburgring (GER) was packed with highlights. First and foremost were the victory and the third place finish for Marco Wittmann (GER) in the two DTM races. At the same time, the BMW M3 Touring 24H caused a stir with its first return to the Nürburgring since the 24-hour race. BMW M works driver Max Hesse (GER) took selected guests on thrilling taxi rides around the Grand Prix circuit. “It was a jam-packed weekend for me with my duties as a Schaeffler brand ambassador and the taxi rides in the BMW M3 Touring 24H,” said Hesse. “The laps with the guests were the absolute highlight. They got in full of anticipation because the car is just so special. After their laps, there was a mix of beaming smiles and shouts of joy. It was great fun.” At the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS at the end of August, the BMW M3 Touring 24H will once again be on display in the paddock. Until then, fans can admire it in the M Showroom at the racetrack.

Michael Schrey (GER) once again left his mark on the third round of the BMW M2 Cup. For the third time in a row, he achieved a perfect weekend in the #2 BMW M2 Racing from Hofor Racing by Bonk Motorsport, with two wins and two pole positions. At the Nürburgring, Moritz Groneck (GER) in the #77 car from ME Motorsport finished second in both races. His teammate Christopher Holst (SUI) took third place on Saturday, while on Sunday the final podium spot went to Niklas Hirsch (GER) from FK Performance Motorsport.

Both teams also had reason to celebrate in the ADAC GT4 Germany. ME Motorsport finished second in race one with Linus Hahne and Phillip Wiskirchen (both GER) in the #77 BMW M4 GT4 EVO. FK Performance Motorsport, with Luca Link (GER) and Luis Moser (AUT), finished third in the first race. In the second race, their teammates Gabriele Piana (ITA) and Benjamin Sylverstersson (FIN) crossed the line in second place. The two currently sit third in the drivers’ standings with 121 points.
