Media Information: 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

The IWSC combines magnificent cars, iconic racetracks, quality
drivers and passionate fans. In doing so, it continues a long
tradition of sports car racing in the USA and Canada, in which BMW has
always played a major role. In 2017, the successful collaboration
between BMW Motorsport and the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team
entered its ninth year.

Last year, BMW Motorsport embarked on a new chapter in American motor
racing, with the launch of the BMW M6 GTLM. The new car replaced the
successful BMW Z4 GTLM and demonstrated its huge potential with three
podium finishes. The team and drivers are looking to back up those
results and achieve more success for BMW Motorsport in North America
in the 2017 season. In addition to BMW Team RLL, Turner Motorsport
will field a BMW M6 GT3 in the GTD class of the IWSC.

The 2017 season kicks off on 28th/29th January
with the iconic 24 Hours of Daytona. The 19th BMW Art Car –
designed by US artist John Baldessari – will compete at the opening
round of the season.
