Castrol Edge M3 DTM

BMW Motorsport has revealed that one of the six cars it’ll be campaigning in the 2012 DTM will carry sponsorship from Castrol Edge and Aral Ultimate.

The result is a striking green and blue paintjob that’s certainly a departure from BMW’s traditional ‘white with M stripes’ racing livery.

Commenting on the move, BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt said: “For many years we have put our faith in high-performance Castrol lubricants, and have celebrated countless successes together on the racetrack. For that reason, everyone here at BMW Motorsport is delighted that we are able to build on this established partnership in the DTM. Castrol EDGE and Aral Ultimate are high-performance brands, which suit our DTM project perfectly.”

All of BMW’s DTM drivers for this season have now been confirmed, and the squad comprises Augusto Farfus (Brazil), Joey Hand (United States), Andy Priaulx (Great Britain), Bruno Spengler (Canada), Dirk Werner (Germany) and reigning DTM champion Martin Tomczyk (Germany).

An announcement on how they will be allocated to the three outfits that’ll be running the M3 DTM race cars (BMW Team RBM, BMW Team RMG and BMW Team Schnitzer) is expected soon.
