Exclamation DTM weekend in Munich at the Welt...


Hi Guys,

On July 15th and 16th - I went to Munich to see BMW’s new DTM racer for next season. Here are my photos. The DTM event was really cool. What I liked best was how close you could get to all the drivers and cars. It was a wonderful event. Sorry for all the MB and Audi pics… but next year we will see more BMW’s! lol

Enjoy,
Dackel



I also posted this in the M3 section... but I thought I'd might as well re-post it over here as well - since I live here.

Ah, so that's what they were doing. I was there in late May/Early Jun and they were building like crazy over in Olympic park. For example, that whole Audi setup on the pond wasn't there at all. Kind of home court advantage for BMW huh?

Exclamation

I forgot to post pics of this M3 GT4 racer they had inside at the Welt. Instead of the usual show of the motorcycle guy zipping around the Welt and up the stairs… BMW had this M3 GT4 race car do BURN OUTS inside the Welt(!) with everyone looking in awe! It was really cool. And this M3 had race slicks on too! Quite a cool sound it made on polished concrete! I attached a pdf sheet on this M3 racer IF anyone is interested in it.
