This collaboration is set on a clear trajectory: to clinch championship trophies and redefine the competitive landscape of sim racing. Both MOUZ and BMW M Motorsport are not just joining forces; they are uniting with the shared objective of dominating the virtual motorsport world, blurring the lines between the virtual and the real, and elevating sim racing to the pinnacle of esports.

René Lannte, MOUZ’s COO, encapsulates the spirit of this partnership: “With BMW we found the ideal partner to match our ambitions in sim racing. BMW has been involved in virtual motorsports in a variety of ways for years and knows how to connect the real and digital world of racing. This commitment has a significant influence on the rapid development of the genre. Together, BMW and MOUZ would like to present sim racing to a broader audience, create exciting stories about the stars of virtual motorsports and highlight development opportunities around the topic of sim racing. With almost 22 years of pioneering work, MOUZ has been shaping the world of esports, and so BMW’s progressive attitude and passion for sim racing quickly won us over. Thanks to our similar mindsets, we are confident that we can advance sim racing sustainably. Our partnership will allow us to bring the excitement and enthusiasm of real world motorsports to the digital world. We are M – We are MOUZ.”

Timo Brückner from BMW M Motorsport shares this enthusiasm and vision for the future: “The fact that we were able to further strengthen our already strong line-up of teams with our long-standing partners Redline and BS+COMPETITION by adding the new BMW M Team MOUZ makes us proud and lets us look forward to the new season with great anticipation and confidence. Together, we want to fight for victories and championships in the biggest and most exciting racing series of the virtual motorsport world in 2024.”
