Jens Marquardt, BMW Motorsport Director
“After Saturday’s top-seven shut-out,
we were able to achieve a 1-2-3-4-5
in race two, although it was much
tougher on Sunday. It is obviously
fantastic to see so many BMW
drivers so far up the field. To see
our reigning DTM champion
Marco Wittmann celebrating so
enthusiastically as he did last year
after his win on Saturday was a
particularly nice moment. His title
defence has been anything but easy
so far, but I am confident that this
weekend will give him a massive
boost. All in all, my summary of the
weekend is obviously a very positive
one. Everything came together
for us. However, given the overall
situation, we remain realistic in
our evaluation of the weekend: the
opposition is extremely strong –
much stronger than it may have
appeared here. The way the DTM
is at the moment, it is coming down
to mere details from one racetrack
to the next. The differences in
qualifying times are always extremely
small. Importantly, our team spirit
is very strong. We will need that
over the coming months. We must
continue to work hard. I would like to
dedicate this success to the entire
team, of whom I am very proud.
Everybody worked very hard for that.
We will celebrate, but we start from
scratch again in Spielberg.”

BMW MOTORSPORT PARTNER UPDATE.
WITTMANN WINS HISTORIC RACE
FOR BMW.
ZANDVOORT , 11TH/12TH JULY 2015
RACE 1.
“It feels awesome to be back on
the top step of the podium. I am
incredibly happy. That is not
only a great success for me, but
for the team and everyone at
BMW Motorsport. I think this result
will give us a massive boost for the
rest of the season. We all needed
exactly that kind of result after the
problems we have had at the start
Marco Wittmann
of the season.”
The champion is back. Marco Wittmann won Saturday’s race in Zandvoort, crossing the
finish line first for the first time with the number 1 on his Ice-Watch BMW M4 DTM.
This was the reigning DTM champion’s first victory for almost a year.
Right from the first practice session, Wittmann coped brilliantly with the circuit nestled in the dunes on the North Sea coast,
and narrowly missed out on pole position by just eight thousandths of a second in qualifying for race one. However,
a lightning-quick start saw him take the lead by the first corner and, despite coming under pressure from the chasing pack,
Wittmann held on to take the chequered flag. In race two, Wittmann was involved in a lot of fierce battles, but showed
plenty of determination to emerge unscathed. However, the many duels did cause him to lose touch with the leaders,
eventually coming home fifth.
BMW Motorsport occupied the top seven positions on Saturday and the top five on Sunday, making the weekend in
Zandvoort the most successful in the manufacturer’s DTM history. The BMW drivers won both races, secured both
pole positions, claimed all six places on the podium and set the fastest lap in both races.
RACE 2.
“That was a superb weekend for
BMW and me. I was delighted with
the win on Saturday. I could have
been on the podium on Sunday too,
but unfortunately I got stuck behind
my fellow BMW drivers at the start.
After that I had some hard, but
fair, battles with Miguel Molina.
Unfortunately I damaged the car
in the collision with Lucas Auer,
but my pace was still good after
that. However, I was just too far
behind the cars in front to do
Marco Wittmann
anything about it.”
