It\u2019s not the only BMW to be added in recent times as the M4 Class 1 was introduced last June. Hopefully, the computer racing simulator will also add the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/12\/09\/2023-bmw-m4-gt4-first-test-completed\/\">M4 GT4<\/a> set to hit the track for the 2023 season.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-418071\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p-830x311.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M4 GT3 08 720p 830x311\" width=\"830\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p-830x311.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p-768x288.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p-1536x576.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M4 GT3 08 720p 830x311\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-418071\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20311%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p-830x311.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M4 GT3 08 720p 830x311\" width=\"830\" height=\"311\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p-830x311.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p-768x288.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p-1536x576.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW_M4_GT3_08_720p.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M4 GT3 08 720p 830x311\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the M4 GT3 had a difficult weekend at the 24 Hours of Daytona. BMW M Team RLL\u2019s two MOTUL BMW M4 GT3s crossed the finish line in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/30\/motul-bmw-m4-gt3-7th-and-9th-daytona-24\/\">seventh and ninth places<\/a> in the GTD-PRO class. Both sustained damages to the underbody early in the endurance race. Consequently, a lot of time was lost fixing the rear diffuser several times. Unfortunately, the GTD car run by Turner Motorsport was forced to retire following a collision during the night.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the endurance race, rFactor 2 added the Daytona International Raceway to the list of available circuits this week.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty soon there will be a new opportunity to race BMWs in a video game as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JlbMzBnfnzM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gran Turismo 7<\/a> will be out on March 4. Some of the models confirmed include the M6 GT3, 3.0 CSL, and a 1989 M3 Sport Evolution.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Studio 397]<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the BMW M4 GT3 for rFactor 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EKwNYET9Kyo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT The 2022 BMW M4 GT3 celebrated its video game debut last year in iRacing before arriving in Assetto Corsa Competizione.
