The BMW drivers for the 2013 DTM Championship had a training stage in Spain, last weekend. Four BMW Teams covered more than 7,000 km over four days.
The main stage took place in Barcelona and allowed drivers their team to focus on different areas that needed improvement. They also had the chance to test the new Hankook tires that will be fitted on their cars starting with this season and the new Drag Reduction System (DRS).
At the end of the day, Timo Glock said that the exercise was extremely useful and allowed them to get better acquainted with the new features.
"We were able to complete a lot of laps and, quite obviously, this was helpful for us as a new team and for me as a DTM rookie. I still have problems in understanding the standard tyre but despite this was happy with our long-runs. At the same time, driving with the option tires was a lot of fun for me. We will continue our work at Hockenheim and try to make the best possible use of the short preparation time prior to the start of the season,” said Glock after the session.
