BMW has chosen a really cool livery for one of the Z4 GT3 race cars that will compete at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps on July 25 and 26.
The BMW “Dream Team” car, shared by Alessandro Zanardi, Timo Glock and Bruno Spengler, will pay homage to the iconic “Michel Vaillant” French comic series.
The bonnet of the BMW Z4 GT3 will feature cartoon-style portraits of the three BMW drivers Zanardi, Glock and Spengler, with the caption “Vrooaaw” written on the side of the car. The car will remind of fictitious racing driver Michel Vaillant, whose adventures have captured the imagination of many fans around the world since 1957.
BMW drivers were excited about the car’s unusual livery. “I think there are very few racing drivers who did not read the ‘Michel Vaillant’ stories when they were young and then dream of their own great career as a racing driver,” Glock said. “You need heroes when you are young, and ‘Michel Vaillant’ was one such hero. I’m really proud of this livery,” Spengler added.
Another BMW Z4 GT3 will feature a special livery with boxing gloves to raise awareness for the “Belgian Foundation against Cancer”, a charity organisation for whom Belgian team BMW Sports Trophy Team Marc VDS is racing. Under the slogan “Marc VDS & Friends Racing Against Cancer”, a number of Belgian motor racing legends will take their turn at the wheel of the car.
