We saw it in GT3 in different teams within different programs. Bruno Spengler was notably Alessandro Zanardi’s teammate at the 2015 Spa 24 Hours. His only full season in IMSA was in 2020 in a BMW M8 GTE, the year of his only participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with ByKolles in LMP1.

“I would like to sincerely thank the entire BMW M Motorsport family, all the engineers and all the mechanics for the last 13 yearsdeclared Bruno Spengler. I have had the privilege of driving some incredibly fantastic racing cars all over the world. I would like to especially thank former BMW board member Dr. Klaus Draeger, who particularly supported me during my first years at BMW M Motorsport, as well as Charly Lamm and the entire Schnitzer family, with whom won the DTM title in 2012 and had many fantastic years together. The decision to leave the BMW M Motorsport family was not easy to make, but I am at a point in my career where a new challenge with a long-term perspective was important to me. That’s why I decided to take this step. »
