2015 saw BMW Motorsport win the seventh of a possible twelve titles in its fourth year since returning to the DTM in 2012. Given the fantastic performances and success enjoyed in 2015, there was no reason to change the drivers and teams for the new season. BMW Teams RMG, MTEK, RBM and Schnitzer will once again fly the flag for BMW in 2016. Back at the wheel of the eight BMW M4 DTMs will be Bruno Spengler, Marco Wittmann, António Félix da Costa, Timo Glock, Augusto Farfus, Tom Blomqvist, Maxime Martin and Martin Tomczyk
However, this year marks the 100th anniversary of BMW. The centenary of the BMW Group and the BMW brand will also play a key role in BMW's 2016 season. To mark the centenary, Martin Tomczyk will compete with the number 100 on the BMW M Performance Parts M4 DTM.
As for The DTM, it retains the successful format of two races per race weekend, which was introduced last year and no unnecessary or funny qualifying runs like what they did at the beginning of Formula 1 sometime ago. Business is as usual with the DTM 2016 season and it will once again feature a total of 18 races held over the course of nine events.
Actually this bit of news is just an excuse for me to post and share the photograph of car number #100. Dammit, it looks real good!
