Andy Priaulx presents his BMW M3 DTM

After winning three WTCC titles with BMW (between 2006 and 2008), Andy Priaulx also distinguished himself in Endurance by competing in several events with the propeller manufacturer. For 2012, the Briton will continue to work with the German brand by participating in its first season in DTM to support BMW's return to the German discipline after 20 years of absence. He will still race with the RBM team, with which he competed in the WTCC, and representing the colors of its loyal sponsor Cowne Plaza Hotels.

“New challenges are always exciting, but at the same time it’s nice to be surrounded by familiar faces”, comments Andy Priaulx. “Augusto (Farfus) will be my teammate this season. Like me, he has been part of the BMW family for many years and he already rode alongside me at RBM in 2010. Then Crowne Plaza Hotels was added, a long-standing sponsor for BMW and for myself. It's a bit like back to school where we're happy to find the best minds. I felt something special as soon as I got behind the wheel. Driving it made me smile and I can't wait to start the season. »
