They were really satisfied by his work, he has impressed them with his skills. They decided to give Wittman the opportunity to try the Formula One test. However, none of this would have been possible, without Red Bull, BMW Motorsport’s partner, which did the arrangement for the test drive that took place in Toro Rosso.

He is also overwhelmed by the fact that he has become a part of the BMW family and his contract for work as a BMW driver is renewed and hi is finally able to fulfill his dream by receiving a  Formula One test. His spectacular year ended with the new BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition in his colors, which made him proud.

The new BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition will be available only in Alpine White. Even though this model, made in the  BMW Individual Manufactory in Garching will be one of its kind, it will have many common features with the powerful  BMW M4 DTM.

Its front wheel arches have the M logo, the doors on which the number 23 is written, and the rear side windows have Wittmann’s initials on them. Fitted with light-alloy wheels which are 19inches wide, front flaps made from carbon, rear spoiler, the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition confirms the rumors about its uniqueness once you cast a look of its interior parts.
