Munich. A well-known driver will take his place at the wheel of the #bmwm4dtm at next week’s 2019 DTM Young Driver Tests at #jerezdelafrontera (ESP), namely #robertkubica (POL). The 34-year-old is closely associated with #bmw, having spent his first years in Formula 1, from 2006 to 2009, with the #bmw Sauber F1 Team. Kubica now returns to #bmw Motorsport to #test a DTM race car.

As well as Kubica, Nick Yelloly (GBR) will also attend the #jerezdelafrontera #test for #bmw Motorsport. The 29-year-old became a #bmw works driver this season and claimed his first title in the China GT Championship at the wheel of a #bmw M6 GT3 run by FIST-Team AAI.

“We are delighted to offer the opportunity to #robertkubica to take part in the Jerez #test,” said #bmw Group Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt. “Robert is a big name on the international motor #racing scene, with a lot of experience in high-class series like Formula 1. We are now very intrigued to see how he gets on in his #test at the wheel of a touring car – our #bmwm4dtm. Nick Yelloly also more than deserves his Jerez outing after his title win in China.”

“I would like to thank #bmw Motorsport for the opportunity to #test at Jerez with the #bmwm4dtm,” said Kubica. “I am already very much looking forward to the #test and to getting to know the DTM race car with its turbo engine. I can well imagine a future in the DTM. I am looking for a new challenge, and the DTM is certainly just that. The series has a top-class field and the standard of driving is extremely high. However, we must first wait and see how I get on at the #test.”

“I’m really looking forward to take it to the track in the #bmwm4dtm again,” said Yelloly. “I know last year’s car from a previous #test and I have to say that it is just such a great race car. But I haven’t driven the new #bmwm4dtm with turbo-engine yet and I’m really looking forward to trying out the new generation of DTM car with the extra turbo power. I’m very grateful to #bmw Motorsport for giving me the opportunity and can’t wait to get behind the wheel.”

The #test at #jerezdelafrontera takes place from 10th to 13th December.
