The 40-year-old German driver spent nearly ten years with BMW Motorsport but he\u2019s leaving to pursue other adventures in racing.\u00a0\u201cEvery end is a new beginning!\u201d Glock wrote in an Instagram post. \u201cThank you BMW Motorsport spending 10 years together around the world on the best race tracks you can dream of. I really enjoyed the intense time in DTM with those wonderful Class 1 cars and great wins and podiums. One of the highlights for sure was the 24h race at Spa-Francorchamps with Alex Zanardi! One of those Races I will never forget!\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CiMrCZxs3_g\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" readability=\"-8.68\"\/>\n<p>Prior to his time at BMW, Glock raced in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/05\/22\/bmw-say-no-to-formula-1\/\">Formula 1<\/a>, for teams such as Jordan, Toyota, and Virgin. Glock raced in F1 from 2004 to 2012, with a brief stint in GP2 (now Formula 2) sandwiched in between. Almost immediately following his career in F1, Glock joined BMW to race in DTM in 2013, where he\u2019s been ever since.\u00a0During his time with BMW, he also made a few appearances in endurance racing, competing in the Spa 24 Hours and the 24 Hours of Daytona.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear what Glock will do after this year, although he\u2019s still currently competing in Italian GT racing for the 2022 season, with the Ceccato Racing team. He\u2019s currently third in the driver\u2019s standings and is competing for a the championship.<\/p>\n<p>The outpouring of love from his former teammates and other drivers he\u2019s interacted with shows how much he\u2019ll be missed by BMW and his current teammates. However, Glock has spent a decade with BMW and needs to move onto new adventures.\u00a0\u201cSpecial thanks goes to Jens Marquardt who was the key person behind this journey. Thanks to all my BMW Teammates in those 10 years. Lots of stories to tell but maybe later\u2026 in a book ;-)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsport.com\/dtm\/news\/timo-glock-announces-bmw-exit\/10364940\/\">Motorsport<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADVERTISEMENT Timo Glock, former Formula 1 Driver and BMW Motorsport driver, is leaving the blue and white Roundel.
