BMW M3 GT4

The 24-hour race has played a very special role in the history of BMW. BMW drivers have enjoyed much success there since the first 24-hour race was held in 1970.

Last year alone, one third of the 150 cars that completed the 24-hour race were BMW made. With 114 class victories, BMW is by far the most successful manufacturer in the history of the event.

To date, the marque has 18 overall victories to its name, and has even achieved a one-two on eight occasions. Most recently, the BMW M3 GTR enjoyed double success in 2004 and 2005.
