00:00We have very high interest and demand for the M2 Racing.
00:16We simply notice that there is a gap again, that customers have been waiting for a truly broad sports car for beginners for years.
00:23A racing car that is enormous driving pleasure, but on the other hand also has low running costs, making it simply a perfect racing car for those getting into motorsport.
00:45So in total, we cover all of our development vehicles with 30,000 kilometers of racetrack use.
00:51We've now reached a total of around 20,000 kilometers, we'll complete the 30,000 kilometers by the end of the second quarter, and as the grand finale, we will complete the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring Nordschelie.
01:05The BMW M2 Racing is once again a true entry-level racing car for mainstream racing and is comparable to one of our first entry-level models.
01:21The M235 M240 easing, which is still very popular among amateur motorsports and that is what our customers want, simply to have a genuine amateur racing tool that can also be used by private customers at track days.
01:35The target group for the M2 racing is beginners, young people, amateurs, ambitious racing drivers who have already gained some experience on track days and other entry-level motorsport events.
01:49Young, talented people who are entering motorsport directly from go-karts, that is exactly the target group we want to reach with the vehicle so that we can then cover the entire pyramid within our motorsport projects, from entry-level to the top class.
02:05Yes, the BMW M2, the base model, naturally offers the perfect platform for it.
02:13And a major advantage at BMW M is simply that our production vehicle development and racing car development go hand-in-hand.
02:23This means that there is a very high level of now-a-transfer, which enables us to develop a cost-effective racing car.
02:29The main premises for developing a vehicle like this, especially as an entry-level racing vehicle, are to have the normal driving fun, but still a vehicle with low running costs.
02:46Overall, we are very satisfied, we have broken some new ground with the concept.
02:50We have done a lot of driving on various racetracks all over Europe, have had a variety of drivers in the car, have even taken part in a number of racing events at the Muggering, and have had nothing but positive experiences so far.
03:04The feedback has been positive across the board, and we are optimistic that we are achieving exactly what we set out to do with the project.
03:20Thank you.
