From BMW
Before they took to the track to complete their first practice laps in the Olympic Stadium, the BMW DTM drivers experienced the circuit within the stadium and the Bavarian scenery from a completely different perspective.
Together with BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt, Martin Tomczyk, Bruno Spengler, Dirk Werner, Joey Hand, Augusto Farfus and Andy Priaulx were given a tour over the canopy roof of the stadium and were rewarded with a magnificent view of the circuit and BMW headquarters.
On Wednesday, Tomczyk, Spengler and Werner became acquainted with Munich while visiting several local newspapers, driving a first-generation BMW M3, a BMW M1 and the 2012 BMW M3 DTM Safety Car. Then they were treated to a magnificent view of the circuit, the nearby BMW headquarters and the Olympic Parc, which - as well as BMW M - is celebrating its 40th birthday this year.
Courage, safety hooks and rope: that is all the BMW drivers needed for their expedition. Starting out from the North Stand, they climbed along the unique, listed roof construction 40 metres above the ground.
The stadium, which was built for the 1972 Olympic Games, and the racetrack constructed specially for this weekend's DTM event were quite literally at their feet.
