The BMW M Hybrid V8 is due to make its racing debut at Daytona in January next year, and completed its first track test this week.
Due to the very tight schedule for the LMDh project, the plan has always been to focus on one field of application in the first season in 2023,” said Andreas Roos, head of BMW M Motorsport. “The IMSA series is perfectly suited for this.
“However, our mid-term goal was obviously to race on two fronts with the BMW M Hybrid V8, and also to use the major platform provided by the WEC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We are now working determinedly towards this, at the same time as our programme in North America.”
The team’s line-up for IMSA and WEC, and the number of entries is yet to be announced.
