Bottom post of the previous page:

Teaser stuff but notice of the BMW LMDH launch on (Monday) 6th June

Image


That’s strange / interesting timing from BMW though, who to this point, have only confirmed an IMSA programme for the new car.

But maybe there is more than just a reveal:
The German manufacturer are known though to have been courted by multiple WEC players, with WRT understood to be the closest to what is expected to be a wide-ranging deal in the wake of the evaporation of their plans to field the now cancelled Audi effort in the FIA WEC.
