Meeting of champions.
Last week, BMW Motorsport offered media representatives from all over the world the opportunity to drive various BMW racing cars for themselves at the “Circuito Monteblanco”.
In total, 31 participants from 15 different countries took to the 3.357-kilometre track. All four cars, with which BMW has won the DTM title since 1984, were in action. As well as last season’s championship-winning car, the Ice-Watch BMW M4 DTM, the journalists also hit the road in the BMW Bank M3 DTM (2012), as well as behind the wheel or in the passenger seat of the BMW 635 CSi (1984) and the BMW M3 (1987). All four racing cars each won the title in their first season in the DTM. The media representatives also gained experience as racing drivers at the wheel of two BMW M235i Racings. On hand as celebrity instructors were reigning DTM champion Marco Wittmann, Martin Tomczyk, António Félix da Costa, Dirk Adorf and BMW Motorsport Junior Jesse Krohn. They gave the journalists an insight into their work, as well as offering valuable advice on how to handle the cars.
