Getting the grille out this bank holiday weekend? So is BMWMotorsport... Stand by for the firm's 2023 LMDh hyper-hybrid, touching down on Monday
The move will allow BMW to compete in the high-profile IMSA series in North America - one of the biggest global markets for its M performance brand.
The new LMDh class is loosely based on LMP2 machinery. Under those rules, manufacturers must pick one of four control chassis and use a spec rear-axle hybrid system, although they can fit their own bodywork styling elements and rear-drive powertrain. Output is capped at 670bhp. Porsche, Audi and Acura have all confirmed they will enter the LMDh class, which will be eligible for both the American IMSA Championship that includes the Daytona 24 Hours and the World Endurance Championship. That latter championship includes Le Mans and also features cars in the Le Mans Hypercar class, including Toyota, Peugeot and BMW did not specify if it would run dual programmes in IMSA and the WEC, or offer its cars to privateers.
BMW has been considering future motorsport projects after confirming that it would withdraw from the Formula E Championship at the end of this season.
