“A crash on Friday evening means the BMW M4 GT3 is not able to take part in race four of the Nürburgring Endurance Series,” BMW Motorsport wrote in a short statement.
“The exact cause of the crash is being analysed. Prior to that, the tests at Spa-Francorchamps and on the Nordschleife had run smoothly.”
The new-for-2022 BMW was planned to make its race debut in the 52. Adenauer ADAC Rundstrecken-Trophy with Jens Klingmann and Sheldon van der Linde piloting the Bayern machine.
Hey everyone. We unfortunately won’t be starting todays race with the new car due to a crash on the Nordschleife yesterday. The cause is currently being analysed by our @BMWMotorsport engineers but I‘m all good, thanks for your messages 👌🏼🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/VSpsPNcJXH
