„ Then we were wild dogs on the racetrack, but BMW still put their trust in us and enabled us to gain important racing experience. “
Marc Surer, race car driver and first-generation BMW Junior

YOUNG WILD ONES.

YOUNG WILD ONES.

The BMW Motorsport Junior Programme.

When BMW Motorsport GmbH in 1977 introduced the BMW Junior Team, a purely Junior team, it was a novelty in the racing world. To prepare young drivers for international racing, support also extended to Formula 1 sports. This started the important careers, for example, of DTM Champions Marco Wittmann and Martin Tomczyk, the BMW works driver and Formula 1 driver Timo Glock, as well as the Forumla 1 World Champions Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg.

Launch pad to the podium.

“For me and my colleagues, the BMW Junior Team was the launch pad which decisively put us on the road to the Formula 1”, says Marc Surer, 1977 driver and first generation newcomer. The concept of the BMW Motorsport Junior Programme encompasses numerous aspects on and off the racetrack. So it’s not only all about driving practice in different BMW race cars, but also about fitness and nutrition, handling the media and working with a team.
