Marco Wittmann with Walkenhorst Motorsport in 2021

Almost two months after the announcement of his arrival in DTM, Walkenhorst Motorsport now holds its leader for the 2021 campaign.

The latter is none other than Marco Wittmann, double champion of the discipline in 2014 and 2015. True to himself, the German will continue under the colors of BMW. “ I look forward to participating in the 2021 season with Walkenhorst Motorsport, recognized the main person concerned. There are new challenges awaiting us, including using the BMW M6 GT3 in sprint races.

As a team we will do everything possible to ensure the success of this project. Anyone who knows me knows how much DTM is important to me ».

« A new chapter begins for us, adds team director Niclas Königbauer. With Marco, we welcome a DTM champion to our ranks. We will work to continue on the path to success in sprint races as well. Everyone involved in the project is extremely motivated and we can't wait to fight for podiums ».

Marco Wittmann will have the opportunity to get to know his new car, the BMW M6 GT3, during pre-season testing at Hockenheim this week (April 7/8).
