Really? It's a beautiful car though. I love the color/body shape combo.

Yea i don´t know for sure, just what i heard on some forums.

I want a model of that car to sit on my shelf in my room.

Yea i think they can run in Le Mans 24H with some modifications. remember hearing something about that.

Ok, they can run in Lemans. With a few modifications. Ok that is what I already knew. So nobody knows it if they will or dont will run on an endurance race(right?). Lets hope cause it would be beautiful.

Also a intresting twist to the BMW DTM entry is that BMW are looking to see if the BMW DTM car can be entered into the Le Mans series as the engine they are putting in the DTM car will take arround 7,000km between rebuilds, whitch for a GTE entry that will more or less be a full Le Mans race distance. This was reported in this months Race Car Engineering.​

Thanks for the info mate. So which year they will enter this or next? That would be the next question.
There is nothing revealed yet lets see.

Definitely not this year, i can´t imagine they going this late to let the press know they will participate.
Nothing is set yet, we don´t even know if it possible to enter Le Mans.

If possible then 2013 i think. But with the new M3 maybe

Which is developed by the experience of the dtm season 2012

To future will tell us. At least the hope is alive for an sgt-dtm-couple.

 

[Kol Bailey]

I hope that they will take that car to Le Mans.

Also is nice to see that this year the car shapes are more clean of aero parts, before it make them to look a bit silly.

And some nice pictures of the Audi tub.

I wonder if Ekström, if he still drives, have had a bad check on it during this winter, will be able to pull off a championship win again or if a new star will rise

I hope I get to see some of the races either on tv or online

And it will be fun to see new cars for this season

BMW are looking strong

 

[Hampus Andersson]

According to Autosport, all three teams will each run a bright yellow car, "Deutsche Post"

 

[Simon Melhuish]

Yep, the BMW was at the test

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Hopefully this means that Schnitzer will run the M-livery!
