BMW has revealed an Evo kit for the M6 GT3 for 2018. The BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt shared a statement:
The BMW M6 GT3 will remain the flagship in the BMW customer racing product range and our top model for the prestigious 24-hour races at the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps in 2018 and beyond. We are working on an Evo package, to provide our customer racing teams with an even better car. The latest tests at the Lausitzring showed that we have made a big step forward, particularly in terms of driveability.
The Evo package focuses on improving the driving experience for non-professionals. It also lowers the operating costs, such as the engine which doesn’t need to be refreshed for 15,000km compared to 10,000km before.
Philipp Eng, who drove the car during the test, said:
The tests with the new Evo package for 2018 were great fun. Thanks to the updates, the BMW M6 GT3 is significantly easier and more comfortable to drive. It is also more consistent. All this makes it less tiring for the driver in the cockpit. Driveability is really an important key to success. Congratulations to the BMW engineers, who have really done a very good job with the Evo package.
