Rast: "More time" needed for BMW to emulate Porsche WEC win with LMDh
The triple DTM champion believes that Porsche’s victory in the season-opener has provided hope for BMW in its first year of WEC with the M Hybrid V8 car run by WRT. Despite a 10th place finish at Losail International Circuit, BMW still acknowledges the need for improvement. The performance of Porsche’s LMDh car showcases the potential for the category to compete for overall victory. BMW’s test program was impacted by weather conditions, hindering their progress. Both driver comfort and car consistency improvements are necessary for BMW to reach their desired level in competition. WRT’s boss expresses optimism as the team continues to progress following their success in the now-dropped LMP2 category.
