BMW M2 Cup set to feature on the DTM support programme at six race weekends again in 2022.

Munich. After the successful premiere of the BMW M2 Cup in
2021, the one-make cup has now announced its race calendar for the
coming season. It once again features twelve races over six weekends
as part of the support programme for the DTM. The announcement also
marks the start of the registration period for the BMW M2 Cup.

 

“For us, the debut season of the BMW M2 Cup was a big success”, said
Thomas Felbermair, Vice President Sales and Marketing BMW M GmbH. “The
feedback of the drivers was entirely positive. The BMW M2 CS Racing
has racing DNA that is typical for BMW M. I’m really looking forward
to the 2022 season and hope for another thrilling title battle.”

 

“We are pleased to be able to announce the dates for the 2022
season,” said the head of the BMW M2 Cup, Jörg Michaelis. “With BMW M
and the DTM, we have put together an exciting and varied calendar. It
is the perfect fit, as there is a lot of international interest in the
Cup. At this current time, there is always a certain degree of
uncertainty when announcing dates, but we are already looking forward
to the start of the season.”

 

The Lausitzring (GER) hosts the opening round of next season’s BMW M2
Cup on 21st/22nd May 2022. This is followed by a
further three appearances in Germany – at the Norisring, Nürburgring
and Hockenheimring. The calendar also includes two foreign outings at
the Red Bull Ring (AUT) and Spa-Francorchamps (BEL). The announcement
of the calendar also marks the start of the official registration
period for season two of the BMW M2 Cup. With an emphasis on fairness,
equal opportunity and transparency, talented young drivers can show
what they are capable of in the BMW M2 CS Racing, the standard Cup
car. In association with the Speed Academy, the drivers will be
prepared for the challenges they will face in motorsport, both from
the driving perspective and mentally. As such, participants will
receive a holistic basic training, paving the way for a professional
career in motor racing.
