From press release
BMW Motorsport has announced the driver/team line-up for the 2014 DTM season.
Like last year, four teams and eight drivers will compete for BMW in the popular touring car series and have their sights set on winning races and titles with the new BMW M4 DTM.
BMW Team RBM, which finished runner-up in last season's team competition with 148 points and therefore played a major role in BMW retaining the Manufacturers' title, will compete with the same pair of drivers as last year: Augusto Farfus (BR), runner-up in the 2013 Drivers' Championship, and Joey Hand (US) will be racing for Team Principal Bart Mampaey's (BE) outfit again in 2014.
Changes are afoot in the remaining three works teams. The two former DTM champions in the BMW Motorsport squad will pair up as team-mates. Martin Tomczyk (DE), the 2011 winner, switches to BMW Team Schnitzer. He will join Bruno Spengler (CA), who won the Drivers' title for BMW in 2012 and will contest his third season for Charly Lamm's (DE) team.
Timo Glock (DE), winner of the final race of the 2013 DTM season, will be back behind the wheel for BMW Team MTEK. The man who made 91 appearances in Formula One will be joined by a new team-mate: António Félix da Costa's (PT) first DTM season will be under the guidance of Team Principal Ernest Knoors (NL). Marco Wittmann (DE), DTM Rookie of the Year in 2013, switches to BMW Team RMG where he forms an extremely promising partnership with DTM newcomer Maxime Martin (BE).
The 2014 DTM season begins at the Hockenheimring on 4th May. In keeping with tradition, the same circuit will host the final race of the year on 19th October. Between these two dates, the calendar features a further four races in Germany (Oschersleben, Norisring, Nürburgring, Lausitzring) and four races abroad (Budapest, Moscow, Spielberg, Guangzhou).
