BMW underlines its commitment to touring car racing

With his victory in Brno at the World Touring Car Championship, BMW driver Andy Priaulx has now reached the top step of the podium for the fifth time this season. He thus had the honor of bringing home BMW’s 50th victory in the WTCC. Guest driver Colin Turkington completed BMW’s success with a win in the other race in Brno. Augusto Farfus also scored points in that race—so it is no wonder that celebrations in the BMW camp were in full swing after the Brno race. Points. The Bavarians were certainly in a celebratory mood.

In the first race in Brno, both BMW cars were involved in collisions, but fortunately neither incident had any consequences, and the drivers were able to continue without problems. BMW team principal Bart Mampaey saw BMW’s success in Brno at the World Touring Car Championship as “a step forward for BMW.” BMW’s 50th WTCC victory was simply “fantastic.” After a successful race weekend at the World Touring Car Championship in the Czech city of Brno, BMW and its team are now looking ahead to the coming races with optimism. And after last weekend, it is clear that BMW will have a significant say in the fight for the top positions this season.
