09.04.2009 BMW M3 GT4 celebrates 24-hour premiere at the Nürburgring.

The BMW works drivers Augusto Farfus (BR), Jörg Müller (DE) and Andy Priaulx (GB) will line up at the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife on 23rd/24th May 2009. This will also mark the debut of the BMW M3 GT4 at this legendary endurance race.
Müller and Priaulx will be behind the wheel of the BMW M3 GT4 when they race for Schubert Motorsport in the Eifel region. The two drivers, who are normally involved in a battle for glory for BMW in the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), will join forces with motor racing journalists Marcus Schurig (DE) and Jochen Übler (DE). The editors of the specialist “sport auto” magazine in Germany have many years of racing experience behind them, and have entered the “Green Hell” numerous times in the past. Together with tyre partner Dunlop, this quartet of drivers has its sights set on a top position in the SP10 class.

BMW Motorsport Director, Mario Theissen, says: “Although we will not be represented by a works team at this year’s 24-hour race, our Customer Racing programme ensures that our fans will still see plenty of BMW racing cars and BMW works drivers. We will be particularly interested in how the new BMW M3 GT4 performs, which is fielded by Schubert Motorsport in cooperation with ‘sport auto’. Jörg Müller and Andy Priaulx are two former overall winners in the Eifel. Spectators can certainly look forward to an exciting weekend.”

The BMW M3 GT4, the youngest addition to the Customer Racing product range offered by the BMW Motorsport Distribution division, made its debut on the legendary Nordschleife in front of many BMW fans at last weekend’s 56th ADAC Westfalenfahrt. After four hours, Müller and Übler were victorious in the SP10 class, and finished 30th overall.

The Nordschleife at the Nürburgring has played a very special role in the history of BMW. BMW drivers have enjoyed countless successes there since the first 24-hour race was held in 1970. Last year alone, one third of the 150 cars that completed the 24-hour race were BMW made. With 114 class victories, BMW is by far the most successful manufacturer in the history of the event.

To date, the marque has 18 overall victories to its name, and has even achieved a one-two on eight occasions. Most recently, the BMW M3 GTR enjoyed double success in 2004 and 2005. Jörg Müller was a member of the winning team back in 2004, while Priaulx was triumphant in 2005.

BMW M3 GT4.

On the road, the BMW M3 represents a true legend. And when it comes to motor racing, it’s a winner without equal. From 2009, BMW Motorsport is offering a new attractive vehicle within the scope of its customer racing programme: At the wheel of the BMW M3 GT4, independent racing drivers and teams have the opportunity to battle for points and race wins in series held according to the FIA GT4 regulations.

“In 2009, we will witness the BMW M3 racing not only for the BMW Rahal Letterman Racing Team in the American Le Mans series. The new BMW M3 GT4 now also provides private teams with numerous opportunities,” says BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen. “For over 50 years customer racing has been a cornerstone of BMW’s motorsport programmes. After all, what better global ambassador for the performance pedigree of BMW cars than a privateer who is competing for victory in a BMW vehicle.”

To date, BMW M3 vehicles have secured more than 1,500 race wins in a wide range of championships. The BMW M3 GT4 will surely continue this stunning streak of success in the GT4 category.

When purchasing a BMW M3 GT4 from BMW Motorsport, customer teams can look forward to far more than just a competitive racing car. The cars are the product of a long design and development phase and only the most reliable components – which include excellent performance value and a good cost-performance ratio – make it to the track. While developing these components, BMW relies on the most sophisticated test benches, the company-owned test facilities located in Aschheim, Bavaria and, last but not least, on the BMW Motorsport experts’ vast wealth of experience. In addition, independent teams have the opportunity to tailor their car for the respective race series by purchasing the exact components from the racing kit they need.

Per ora i dati non sono ancora stati diffusi anche se dovrebbe essere strettamente derivata dalla serie e quindi non si disosteranno di molto da quelli di base della M3 E92 stradale.
Per i cerchi mi sembra però che rendano davvero di meno sulla E92 che sulla "vecchia" E46...
