Munich. After BMW Motorsport presented Marco Wittmann’s (GER) BMW
Driving Experience M4 DTM at the DTM test at Vallelunga (ITA), the
designs of the other five cars have now also been confirmed for the
2018 season. As different as they look, the six BMW M4 DTM have one
thing in common: the overarching elements of the new BMW M Motorsport
design are striking in all liveries.
The modern, dynamic look was implemented individually for each BMW
M4 DTM and customised to suit the car. The matt black element on the
driver’s side of the bonnet and the v-shaped transition to the rear
make for a unique recognition value.
Long-standing BMW Motorsport partners remain part of the DTM
project in the 2018 season. Bruno Spengler (CAN) will take to the
track once again with the number 7 BMW Bank M4 DTM. Brazil’s Augusto
Farfus will return to the wheel of the number 15 Shell BMW M4 DTM.
Timo Glock (GER) will contest the upcoming season in the number 16
DEUTSCHE POST BMW M4 DTM once again.
Philipp Eng (AUT) will contest his rookie DTM season in the number
25 SAMSUNG BMW M4 DTM. The sixth BMW M4 DTM in the squad, driven by
BMW DTM newcomer Joel Eriksson (SWE/car number 47), will bear the Puma
and BMW LIFESTYLE logos.
In addition, other partners and suppliers will continue their
involvement in the BMW Motorsport DTM team for the upcoming season.
This includes the Official Partners Amplus, Akrapovič, BMW M
Performance Parts, H&R, MAHLE, ZF and Zollner. In addition, Oakley
joins Puma as an Official Supplier.
The 2018 season gets underway with the first races on 5th and 6th
May at Hockenheim (GER). There will be a total of ten race events,
with the season ending in mid-October, also at Hockenheim. The DTM
will also be in action at the Lausitzring (GER), Budapest (HUN), the
Norisring (GER), Zandvoort (NED), Brands Hatch (GBR), Misano (ITA),
the Nürburgring (GER) and Spielberg (AUT) this year.
