He had a race at Le Mans in the Chrysler LMP of course, and now he returns to the ALMS for the Petit Le Mans - partnering JJ Lehto and Jorg Muller in the #42 Team BMW Motorsport BMW GTR.<BR> <BR> "I had the opportunity to test the BMW M3 GTR and was very impressed," said Wendlinger. "I'm really looking forward to driving this car at Road Atlanta. JJ and Jorg are strong partners and the team is known for its good strategies and fast pit stops, which are crucial factors in an endurance race." <BR> <BR> Audi don't see the need for three drivers for this event, but perhaps the four litre BMW is more of an endurance tester than the R8.<BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
