That's the point of having a customer racing programme.
It's not the best GT car out there, but it's performance in the IWSC is not representative of the cars potential.

So noted, but the North American market is HUGE for BMW. Wins and podiums in Europe is for the most part meaningless in NA. They need to find a way to win in NA. Either new/different car, new or additional customer team, BOP adjustments or all of the above. For now they are getting embarrassed by the competition. |
Or they may pull out altogether and just concentrate on the classes they have appropriate cars for, such as DTM, m235R, now the M4 GT4, etc and leave GT3 and GTE to others.
