Turkington 的宝马车队队友 Adam Morgan（英国）在第二场比赛中名列第四，在另外两场比赛中均未进入前十名。来自 MB Motorsport 的 Laser Tools Racing 车队的 Jake Hill（英国）在第一场比赛中从第十二名强势回归至第四名。在第二场比赛中，他因多次被竞争对手撞击导致转向系统受损而退赛。因此，他不得不在第三场比赛中从后方发车，但仍然获得了第十二名。在车手积分榜上，Turkington 在本赛季十场比赛中的两场中排名第二，Hill 位列第四，Morgan 位列第十。在制造商积分榜上，宝马继续领先。

22.05.2024
In our BMW M Motorsport News, we regularly offer you a selection of photos as well as a compact and informative overview of the racing action in various championships worldwide and the successes of the BMW M Motorsport teams.
Björn Lellmann, Head of Customer Racing at BMW M Motorsport:
“The success stories of our BMW M Motorsport teams thankfully continue around the world. The BMW M4 GT3 had an impressive weekend in the GT World Challenge Europe at Misano and was also at the top of the podium in the USA. The same goes for the BMW M4 GT4. It was unbeatable at both Misano and in Austin. Additionally, it’s enjoyable to see the BMW M2 CS Racing continue to set the standard in TC America. It’s something quite special to see how high-class BMW M Motorsport is represented in Automotive Gaming as well. BMW M Team Redline celebrated two extremely prestigious victories in one weekend. The fact that the reigning Formula 1 World Champion was behind the wheel of the virtual BMW M4 GT3 for one of those wins is, of course, a great thing. Congratulations to all the winners of the past weeks!”

iRacing 24h Nürburgring (17th-19th May): Triumph for BMW M Team Redline with F1 champion in a double role.
For the fourth time in the last five races, victory at the iRacing 24h Nürburgring event went to an official BMW M Team.

It looked like BMW M Team BS+COMPETITION could secure a 1-2 for BMW M Teams, but an accident for the “Zebras” early on Sunday morning dashed all podium chances. Curiously, Verstappen was competing simultaneously at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola (ITA), where he secured pole position and the race win.

BTCC (10th-12th May): Dominant double victory for Colin Turkington.
Colin Turkington (GBR) and Team BMW experienced an almost perfect weekend at the second round of the British Touring Car Championship 2024 (BTCC) on the short Indy Circuit at Brands Hatch (GBR). First, Turkington secured pole position in the #20 BMW 330e M Sport, then followed up with dominant victories in the first two races. In the first run, he finished almost seven seconds ahead of the rest of the field, and in the second race, his lead was over three seconds despite a safety car period. Turkington had to start the third race from eleventh due to the partially reversed starting order and finished eighth. As the driver who collected the most points over the weekend, he moved up to second place in the championship standings.
Turkington’s Team BMW team-mate, Adam Morgan (GBR), finished fourth in the second race, and outside the top-10 in the other two. Jake Hill (GBR) from Team Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport managed a comeback from twelfth to fourth place in the first race. In the second race, he retired with damaged steering after several ramming incidents by competitors. He thus had to start from the back in the third race but still managed to finish twelfth. In the drivers’ standings, Turkington is second after two of ten race events of the season, Hill is fourth with Morgan tenth. In the manufacturers’ standings, BMW continues to lead.
