I don’t imagine anyone reading this will do anything other than welcome BMW’s back door announcement that it is returning to the top flight of sportscar racing in 2023. Back door?

Daytona 2023.’ But if that’s not enough to give away his intentions entirely the accompanying picture of the 1999 Le Mans-winning BMW V12 LMR most certainly was.
