The BMW works driver raced for the team run by Karsten Molitor and Iris Dorr last year in their first season with the BMW M6 GT3. Klingmann shared the drive in the powerful GT3 sports car with Austrian driver Christopher Zöchling, but it's not yet been decided who will be his partner this season.

"We intend to stick with our GT3 project and are very pleased to have secured the services of Jens Klingmann, our first ace in the pack, at this early stage in the game," said Team Principal, Molitor. "We're pretty certain that we'll soon have another top-class driver for the second seat, and then we can go all-out on the attack!"
