BMW Motorsport has successfully completed the final DTM test of the year. The BMW drivers covered over 5,000 kilometres at the “Circuito de Velocidad” in Jerez de la Frontera, southern Spain.

Augusto Farfus, Canadian Bruno Spengler, Timo Glock, Joey Hand, Martin Tomczyk and Maxime Martin were in action from Sunday to Thursday in the BMW M3 DTM.

BMW driver Jens Klingmann, whose outings this year included the Nürburgring 24 Hours with BMW Team Schubert, made his debut at the wheel of a DTM car. Red Bull Junior, António Félix da Costa, also enjoyed his first outing in the BMW M3 DTM.

The programme featured numerous functions, systems and chassis tests, as well as long runs on prime and option tires.

The engineers were also able to test several set-up variants, which they were unable to run during the 2013 season due to the limited practice time on race weekends.
