BMW M2 Cup.

ONE-MAKE CUP FOR EMERGING TALENT.

The BMW M2 Cup is the ideal entry-level series for customer racing. As part of the DTM, the Cup enables up-and-coming talents to gain experience behind the wheel of the BMW M2 Racing on top-tier tracks in a highly competitive environment, paving the way to advance to higher racing classes.

The focus of the BMW M2 Cup is on young drivers from the age of 15, though there is no upper age limit. Participants can expect extensive support. It includes the support package offered as part of the ADAC’s “Road to DTM” programme, which assists the Cup winner in moving up to the ADAC GT4 Germany series. In addition, BMW M Motorsport offers a wide range of support, including driver coaching sessions with factory drivers and media training. The top three young drivers will also get the opportunity to conduct test drives with the BMW M4 GT4 EVO and participate in the tryouts for the 2027 BMW M Racing Academy – the junior programme for customer racing.

The BMW M2 Cup combines several aspects of our customer racing commitment: our new entry-level car BMW M2 Racing, the strong connection to our teams, and our commitment to talent promotion.

Head of Customer Racing at BMW M Motorsport
