The BMW Team MTEK is the pit stop champion of the DTM season 2016. The MTEK crew, with Bruno Spengler at the wheel, delivered the fastest tyre change times over the past season in the final reckoning in the Best Pit Stop competition sponsored by Hankook.

The exclusive DTM partner is presenting this coveted award for the sixth time since joining the hugely popular international touring cars series in 2011. It is a prize honouring the important work done by those in the pit lane. Manfred Sandbichler, Hankook’s Motorsport Director for Europe, presented the Hankook trophy to the winning team at the team’s headquarters in Garching near Munich on December 8, 2016.

With the fastest pit stop during the DTM final in Hockenheim, the BMW Team MTEK clocked up 110 points and thus sealed their overall victory in the Best Pit Stop Award 2016. During the nine rated Sunday races where a compulsory pit stop was specified, the successful BMW mechanics managed the fastest tyre change of the day on three occasions, making them the team with the most individual successes.

The Mercedes-AMG Team HWA with Paul Di Resta came second, 23 points behind the winners, with the Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline with Miguel Molina taking third spot.

The success of the BMW Team MTEK was the second time the Hankook Best Pit Stop Award has gone to a team from the Munich-based car manufacturer.
