It is no secret that Gerg/KLK make carbon fiber parts for Audi Sport, for its DTM and LMP1 cars.

All this information is in the two references that I posted earlier. The standardized monocoque is designed by Dallara and produced by Gerg/KLK.

In order to give the newcomers a slight advantage, BMW had received, as opposed to Audi and Mercedes, a pre-production model of the new unitary monocoque, which the engineers of all three manufacturers have developed together with the DMSB and whose production is done by cooperation of the partner companies KLK (conception) and Gerg (production).
