Joey Hand and Patrick Long are two American drivers I wish could have a larger international presence, so it's great to see Hand getting the call. Andy Priaulx and Bruno Spengler are already favorites of mine, so to see Hand join them at BMW really has me inclined to watch a few DTM rounds.

BMW might well have the upper hand in terms of engines because they will have built a brand new one whereas Mercedes and Audi will have ones that were designed in 2007.

That's a bit colourful for a BMW, are we going to get a traditional 'M' type of livery?

I imagine we will see a variation of the livery seen at the last race of Hockenheim.What other major partners do BMW have?

Crowne Plaza would come to mind. And they had Dell for a while in WTCC - didn't pay close enough attention the last few years to know if that's still on.

A Jägermeister Car would be absolutely brilliant - not sure if that's likely, though.

You just read my mind. 935 K4 would be even more brilliant.
There're lot's of wonderful colour schemes: Kraus Hi-Fi, Warsteiner, BASF, Mampe.

It's pity because old fasion schemes were so tight and easy reading and remembering and "recordable". The problem is the same as with drivers' helmets. Sometimes they look like somebody has just thrown a pare paint cans at them. Like an explosion at a chemical factory. I can easily draw Jean Alesi's helmet but just even don't know how Paul di Resta's or Jamie Green's ones look like.
And you can never underestimate how the paint scheme looks like I think. It's not just aesthetics.

Nope, they don't. The whole Kraus thing was a bit shady anyways, at some point they were sponsoring up to three rivaling teams simultaneously... they were seriously burning money back then.

As for new exhaust position. Why have they placed it so high? To make some high pressure in the area infront of that huge rear arch?

No clue. The position must be beneficial because the three manufacturers have adapted it.

At the official forum I was told exhaust area is now mentioned in the rules. So no more variety.
