“Sim racing is one of my big passions and I am delighted to have the opportunity, with the support of BMW Motorsport, to race against some of the best sim racers in the world alongside Bruno at the Nürburgring,” said Catsburg. “I saw during my first outing with Philipp how incredibly strong the opposition is. I have great respect for what they are capable of in the race simulator. Despite that, Bruno and I obviously want to finish as high as possible with the virtual BMW M8 GTE.”

24 top-class teams from all over the world will line up at the ‘ADAC Digital GT500’. They include the winners of the ‘BMW 120 at Le Mans’, Laurin Heinrich and Alexander Voss from the Williams Esports Team. As reward for their victory in May, BMW Motorsport invited the pair as VIP guests to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
