BMW getting ready for 2024. ⚔️

BMW runned a test in Spa-Francorchamps prior to WEC season debut in 2024 with Team WRT. #shorts
The FIA World Endurance Championship is the world’s premier international sportscar championship, contested over seven rounds across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. With multiple cars across three categories (Hypercar, LMP2 and LMGTE Am) all on track at the same time, the WEC is a sports car extravaganza that offers action, overtakes, excitement and entertainment for fans worldwide.
