Max Hesse returns to BMW Italia Ceccato Racing this weekend at Vallelunga, partnering Jens Klingmann on the #7 BMW Italia Ceccato Racing BMW M4 GT3 in Round 2 of the Italian GT Championship (CIGT) Sprint.

The pairing is a proven one. Hesse and Klingmann won together twice with the team during the 2024 Sprint season, and the BMW M Motorsport works driver steps back in for Raffaele Marciello as part of a planned rotation in the programme.

The team arrives at Vallelunga leading the Sprint standings after Klingmann and Marciello took a win and a second place at Imola.
