Quotes ahead of the race weekends at Zolder.
"We are now entering the final stages of this unusual and compact season. After last year's success, we are very much looking forward to returning to Zolder and to spending two back-to-back race weekends at this iconic circuit. Our goal is to play a role at the front of the field in the remaining races, and to claim more wins and podiums. All of us - our drivers, teams and engineers - are passionate racers and working intensively to produce some more highlights this season."
"We have not forgotten our successful home event at Zolder last year. On the Saturday, we claimed our first victory with
"We have used the break since the three consecutive weekends at Assen and at the Nürburgring to recharge our batteries and prepare meticulously for the final third of the season. Two fascinating race weekends await us at Zolder. The circuit is an old-school track, and our performance there was generally very good last year. Okay, so the safety car periods and eventful way the races unfolded did not play into our hands, but we saw that the track does generally suit us and we have the potential for top results. We want to convert that into good results this year. We are well prepared for the double-header at Zolder."
"After the intensive weeks with the DTM triple-header and the races on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, including the 24-hour race, I have been able to use a free weekend to recharge my batteries. We now move on to the double-header at Zolder. Last year we were well positioned there, but were rather unfortunate with the safety car, otherwise, we could probably have had a one-two for BMW Team RMG. As such, I am hoping for a good weekend, especially as we have enjoyed an upwards trend at
"I am looking forward to Zolder and another pair of back-to-back race weekends. I have always had a lot of fun at these double-headers so far. Spending so much time in the car is a positive thing. I hope we have two good weekends at Zolder and am intrigued to see what the weather does. That could obviously be an issue. We will definitely prepare for any conditions."
"Zolder is new territory for me. I have never driven a DTM car there, but I am hugely looking forward to the circuit. It looks really demanding and technical. It is an old-school track, which I find very cool. I think that qualifying will be important, but push-to-pass and DRS mean that it will still be possible to climb through the field. I am looking forward to two exciting weekends."
"It's obviously always cool to have a double-header. I have very fond memories of Zolder where I had my strongest weekend of the last season with my first DTM win on Saturday and second place on Sunday. I will remember my first ever DTM victory for the rest of my life and I hope that at the same venue, just at a different time, I can celebrate a win again, or ideally several. I am looking forward to it and can't wait for it to start."
"We are heading into the final three races of the season and it really feels like it has gone by so quickly. It feels like yesterday that we were at Spa. Now we are entering the final stretch. We've made quite some steps forward the last few races and last year, Zolder was a strong round for
"I'm very excited to go back to Zolder. This track carries a lot of special memories for me with my first DTM pole position there last season. It's definitely a very good track for me personally and one that I like very much. It is definitely one of my favourites on the calendar. I think we had a pretty strong season so far given the circumstances, we're fourth of the championship standings and we can build on it now. For sure we need to keep pushing, we've got the momentum on our side so we will do everything to have strong weekends and finish up at the very front."
