These 19 names will drive the BMW M4 GT3 in the various races of the year and will also play a role in the test phase of the LMDh prototype of the propeller brand. The German manufacturer has chosen names that are regulars at the house, such as Augusto Farfus or Timo Glock. “2022 is a year of many new challenges for BMW M Motorsport – so it was all the more important for us to rely on experience, class and continuity when selecting the BMW M factory drivers, said Franciscus van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH. In the coming season, the new BMW M4 GT3 will face top rivals in the world's biggest GT races for the first time. The development and testing of our BMW M LMDh is progressing rapidly, with the aim of challenging for overall victories at the series' major classic races IMSA from 2023. For this important project, we need drivers who really know BMW M Motorsport, the cars, the engineers, the racing series and the circuits, and who can fully concentrate on consistently extracting the best performance possible of the whole. We are confident that we are ready for the 2022 season with our line-up. » Details of the distribution of drivers in the different teams and racing series will be announced at a later date.
