BMW names Rast, van der Linde, Wittmann for 2024 DTM attack
All three drivers will compete for the expanded Schubert Motorsport team, a departure from BMW’s previous strategy of splitting its DTM efforts between two teams. BMW consolidated its lineup to enhance teamwork and create optimal conditions for a title challenge. Van der Linde and Rast were already part of Schubert’s crew, while Wittmann joined from the now-defunct Project 1 to form a larger three-car team. Two-time champion Wittmann advocated for equal testing opportunities within BMW’s DTM camp. Schubert Motorsport is a leading GT3 team in the DTM, having won the title in its debut season with van der Linde. BMW’s motorsport boss highlighted the team’s seven DTM titles and emphasized concentrating on one team to strengthen its title fight.
