BMW factory driver Farfus will lead the debut of the M4 GT3 in Japan this year, teaming up with 2004 Le Mans 24 Hours winner Seiji Ara and Tsubasa Kondo at Team Studie in SUPER GT’s GT300 class.
After an extensive testing programme in Europe last year, the new-generation car's first major appearance in America turned out to be a disappointment, with the two M4 GT3s run by works squad Rahal Letterman Lanigan in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship opener finishing seventh and ninth in the 13-car GTD Pro division - several laps down on the race-winning Porsche.
