The anniversary edition of the 24 hours on the Nürburgring (GER) started on Saturday afternoon (yesterday). 2020 will be the 50th anniversary of the premiere of the endurance classic and BMW's first overall victory. The BMW M2 CS Racing media vehicle, the design of which pays homage to the 19 overall BMW victories and the first triumph in 1970, is made up of the two professional racing drivers Dirk Adorf (GER) and Tom Coronel (NED) and the two journalists Christian Gebhardt and Niki Schelle (both GER). BMW works driver Augusto Farfus (BRA), one of the last BMW overall winners at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, presents the design of the media vehicle in a video: "My name is also behind the year 2010“Says Farfus.
TOP 10 years ago and today?
"The BMW M3 GT2 from back then was a fantastic racing car. The race was tough with all sorts of weather conditions and a very difficult finish where our gearbox was about to fail. But we brought the car to the finish and celebrated victory. Now it is time to add more names to the list of BMW overall winners in 2020." At the current time (27.09.2020 at 11: 30 clock) was just the last stop of the Schnitzer BMW too short! The result: 32-second time penalty! Bitter for the team and at the same time the spectator is robbed of a great fight. The intermediate result after 19/24 hours is:
