BMW team helps GT4 talent make the step up to the ADAC GT Masters

As part of the International Shell ADAC Truck Grand Prix, the ADAC GT Masters kicks off the second half of the season at the Nürburgring. The world’s biggest truck racing event is a huge crowd-puller – last year, more than 130,000 spectators flocked to the Nürburgring. FK Performance Motorsport will be lining up with three BMW M4 GT3 Evo cars.

Tim Zimmermann and Leyton Fourie head to the Eifel as championship leaders, having secured two wins and a total of four podium finishes in a row. The two drivers are keen to continue their run of form and extend FK Performance Motorsport’s lead at the top of the standings. The BMW team currently leads the team standings as well. The two youngsters, Fabio Rauer and Strom Gjerdrum, have also already put in impressive performances in this year’s ADAC GT Masters season and are keen to continue their rapid progress.

At the Nürburgring, 19-year-old Dane Victor Nielsen will also make his ADAC GT Masters debut. Nielsen normally competes in the ADAC GT4 Germany with the Bremen-based team and will now line up alongside Joseph Ellerine in the ADAC GT Masters. Nielsen currently sits in twelfth place in the GT4 standings.

“I’m really looking forward to the coming weekend. I’m absolutely delighted that FK Performance Motorsport has given me this opportunity. It’s my first time driving a GT3 car and I’m really looking forward to getting to know the car and getting a feel for it. As for my goals, I don’t have any great expectations. I just want to enjoy the experience, learn as much as possible and see how the weekend unfolds,” says Nielsen, looking forward to the race weekend in the Eifel.
