He will notably support the Frenchman Tom Dillmann, the first driver announced for the No. 4. Although the identity of the third man has not yet been revealed, Esteban Guerrieri is also there in the Var, he who also took part in the Virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans under the colors of the Austrian team.

« It's a long dream that comes true, rejoices the official BMW driver IMSA. I know theEndurance, I drove at the Nürburgring and took part in the American classics, the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. »

For Boris Bermes, the operations director of Colin Kolles’ team: “ Bruno is an experienced driver for whom motorsport has no secrets. He has won everywhere he has gone and he will undoubtedly demonstrate his qualities again in LM P1. Our team is preparing to compete in its tenth 24 Hours of Le Mans and we want to put all the chances on our side to achieve a good result. »
