Team BMW unveils new livery for 2022 BTCC

Team BMW has shown off the livery which will adorn its brace of BMW 330e M sport cars in the 2022 British Touring Car Championship season.

West surrey Racing will run three BMW cars in 2022, although only the cars of Colin Turkington and Stephen Jelley will be run under the Team BMW banner.

Having run with a black livery for the past two seasons, the team will return to running a white base for 2022, as BMW M celebrates its 50^th anniversary.

The design, unviled at WSR’s headquarters in Sunbury-on-Thames, will once again feature the iconic BMW M colours of red, blue and violet first sported in the European Touring Car Championship in 1972 and created by BMW engineer Wolfgang Seehaus.

“It’s always an exciting day when we showcase our new livery for the season,” said WSR Team Principal Dick Bennetts.

“It’s no different in 2022 and this year we have two extra factors in both the move to hybrid powertrains and greater sustainability as well as celebrating BMW M’s 50th anniversary.

“I was involved in several BMW Motorsport projects in the 1970s with Formula 2 and the BMW M1 Procar series, and I don’t think I’d have predicted to still be involved all these years later.

“The livery combines both the traditional M colours with a modern look and I think fans of the BTCC are going to love it.”
