The Car
Initially beginning its development journey at the start of 2020, the brand-new BMW M4 GT3 has been created to represent the very latest flagship GT racer of the Bavarian marque. Built using the aid of CAD and CFD simulations, with testing input from several of the German brands works drivers, the car has undergone a rigorous development test plan ahead of completing its first tests under race conditions in the second half of 2021, proceeding with its race debut season in 2022 that started with the 24H Dubai and the world-famous Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona in January.
Succeeding the highly successful M6 that has been in competition since 2016 (also available in rFactor 2 – CLICK HERE), the new M4 GT3 certainly has a large legacy to fill, taking up the mantle of representing the best of BMW as it replaces the mighty M6, one of the most prominent and competitive cars within the GT3 category.
