DTM – Tomczyk: “Ready for Hockenheim”

Last year, to everyone's surprise, Martin Tomczyk took the crown of champion of DTM, while he had an older generation A4. Then, against all expectations, the German left Audi, whose colors he had defended since 2001, to join the ranks of BMW, which is making its return to the discipline this year. After a studious off-season spent developing the new M3 DTM, Tomczyk is now eager for competition to resume. Only four more days to wait...

“Although I have been racing in DTM for many years now, I always have a knot in my stomach before the season starts, He says. I'm ready for Hockenheim. The winter was intense, and obviously I was involved in a lot of development work. However, we can be proud of the result. Needless to say, I'm very excited to find out everyone's positions at Hockenheim, and I hope we manage to get as close as possible to our more experienced rivals.". And then Tomczyk will already have a first idea of ​​the potential of his mount compared to the Audi A5 DTM and Mercedes Class-C. And perhaps also a small idea of ​​the answer to this question that he has been asking himself for weeks: Will the M3 DTM allow him to retain his title?
