After an intensive three-day selection procedure, the decision has been made: Erik Johansson (SWE) has been accepted onto the 2019 BMW Motorsport Junior Programme. The 22-year-old former BMW Customer Racing driver triumphed over three other candidates in Wednesday’s shoot-out in the BMW Motorsport simulator. As a reward, a substantial part of his training programme will see him contest the entire coming season of the Italian GT Championship at the wheel of the BMW Team Italia BMW M6 GT3. On Monday and Tuesday, 16 candidates underwent a comprehensive programme of physical, mental and communication tests. The top four participants then went through to the simulator shoot-out.

Jody Fannin is delighted to announce that he will be joining Walkenhorst Motorsport for a VLN campaign in their BMW M6 GT3.

Miguel Cristóvão was one of the 2018 GT4 European Series Pro-Am title contenders. In 2019 he will be one of the names joining the GT4 South European Series, showing the enthusiasm around the recently launched series.
