This year brought with it not just a terrible virus but also the resurrection of a project BMW started back in the 1970s. The BMW Junior Team concept was brought back from the vault and with it came three young drivers that here hand-picked by BMW. The best part of it all was that the man who started the BMW Motorsport division as a whole, and who created the BMW Junior Team project in the first place, Jochen Neerpasch, is part of the effort.
Under his guidance, the three youngsters, Neil Verhagen, Max Hesse and Dan Harper got a chance to prove their worth in a variety of motorsport events. They first had to go through some physical training, were assessed both mentally and physically to make sure they are up to the task and moved in together near the Nurburgring, to be close to the action all the time. Then, the racing began.
