In the build-up to the 2013 DTM season, BMW hosted 2012 champion, Bruno Spengler, and 1989 DTM championship winner, Roberto Ravaglia, at the world-famous Hockenheimring. The challenge set for the drivers was to swop cars with each other and see whether the most recent champion, Spengler, driving Ravaglia’s 1989 BMW M3, would be able to stay in front of the former champion, driving the latest-generation M3 DTM racer.
Spengler was given a head start of one second per year between the two driver’s DTM titles, amounting to a 23-second lead over Ravaglia in the new car. The race ended with Ravaglia overtaking Spengler in the Sachs corner, just as he did on his way to victory in his last DTM outing at Hockenheim in 1992.
Apart from the site of both cars on the track at the same time, the coolest part of this video is hearing each driver talk about what it was like to drive the others car.
