Yes, I'd forgotten about that one- think it was a Czech-entered Coca-Cola backed GT3R- Enge had a couple of runs in it, and Wilson certainly appeared at least once

Didn't Montoya drive a Merc at 1996 Silverstone ITC? I seem to recall him spinning.

You could add to the list a couple of last year's F1 drivers who are out of a drive this year- Ralph Firman has a fair bit of Japanese GT experience, and didn't Justin Wilson have an outing in an Ascari a couple of years back- either Daytona or Sebring from memory?
I also forgot Felipe Massa, who raced an Alfa Romeo 156 GTa in the ETCC in (I think) 2002.

BMW Motorsport will enter two BMW GTR's in a few races (probably Spa Euro 4 hour Race and Eiffelrennen at the Nürburgring) of the Belgian Belcar championship. BMW uses these races as a preparation for the 24h of Spa-Francorchamps.

The cars are driven by Jörg en Dirk Müller, the other 2 drivers will be announced in the near future.

hi im a new user to this site and i was wondering if the m3 gtr running in the fia-gt round at monza is any relation to the car that ran the bathurst 24hrs in oz? i know that John Bowe was the lead driver in the line up for that particular race and does anybody know if that was a "test" race for the bmw squad to obtain setup data etc?

The Oz M3 GTR was an older, privateer six cylinder car I believe.

i dont think it was as the engine it ran was a v8 pretty much strait out of the box with little development and testing. although it was a privateer entry i was just wondering if bmw obtained setup data from that team to aid there campaign for fia-gt?

It must have been the M5 V8 then. The works cars used purpose built V8s not available to privateers.

BMW will only race at Spa and Nurburgring.

thats what i thought it might have been, times were pretty slow so i didnt think it would be a works job (engine wise). is the works team using a m5 4,9 litre derived power plant then or is it a completely new cylinder block? if so what horse is it producing?

It is purpose built. Produces over 470BHP.

The car itself is also modified.

There were also some ETCC BMW's and the Kondo Dome.
