Wednesday’s announcement by BMW confirmed the departure of 2011 DTM champion Martin Tomczyk – who has retired from driving to take up a role in the DTM organisation – and Maximilian Gunther, who left the marque to join Nissan e.dams in Formula E.
The absence of Timo Glock and Bruno Spengler from the Bavarian marque’s line-ups for the IMSA SportsCar Championship's Daytona 24 Hours season opener led to speculation that the two veterans might likewise have been dropped.
