DTM: Timo Glock to leave BMW team

40-year old former Formula 1 and IndyCar driver Timo Glock has announced that he will be leaving BMW Motorsport at the end of the 2022 season.

He may decide to call it quits on his racing career, although IndyCar may have an opening as it has a history of accepting retired drivers from other disciplines and giving them more press than the regular drivers..

“Every end is a new beginning!,” wrote Glock on his Instagram handle.

“Thank you BMW Motorsport, spending 10 years together around the world on the best racetracks 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! #forzaalex

“I think everyone remembers the iconic battle against Gary Paffett @hockenheimring 2018! Everyone who has seen it knows that I am still burning for this sport and always will!

“Now it is time to move on.

“A special 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… in a book 😉

“I will enjoy my last race in Mugello with @ceccatoracing and the legend Roberto Ravaglia @ravaglia.roberto

“So I close my eyes to old ends and open my heart for new beginnings.

“See you soon, Timo #glockmeifyoucan.”
