No sooner had the DTM tests finished at Hockenheim, the BMW M2 CS Racing cars also took to the track to prepare for the 2022 season of the BMW M2 Cup.

The event was an important opportunity to give the many drivers a taste of what to expect in the new season. As well as the event in Baden-Württemberg, potential competitors will have other opportunities to test and familiarise themselves with the BMW M2 CS Racing, and to stake their claim to a starting place in the Cup.



Personal supervision from a driver coach is part and parcel of the BMW M2 Cup and ensures that the rookies are also able to adapt quickly to their new equipment.

 

Skills behind the wheel are not the only important aspect of the work with the young drivers in the BMW M2 Cup, however.

The programme included workshops on data analysis and set-up work, as well as an insight into media work within the championship. The team at Speed Academy was responsible for the fitness element. A fitness camp was held in March on the North Sea island of Langeoog (GER), under the guidance of Axel Funke.



Training trips like this, joint sport units and training sessions in the simulator are just three measures to prepare the talented youngsters for their time in professional motorsport.
