iQOO becomes Premium Partner of BMW M Motorsport for the 2020 DTM Season

As a legend in DTM events, BMW M Motorsport represents the ultimate pursuit of

speed, and also ultimate performance, which coincides with iQOO's brand concept

of 'I Quest On and On' for perfect performance and breakthrough innovation.

"The iQOO racing spirit will ignite a worldwide passion for ultra-fast

technology. iQOO phones are built for consumers with a need for speed, who are

naturally inclined toward superior performance. As a Premium Partner, this is a

momentous opportunity for our brand. We can't wait to demonstrate iQOO's high

performance to the world," said Felix Feng, President of iQOO China.

"Welcome, iQOO, to the BMW DTM family," said BMW Group Motorsport Director Jens

Marquardt. "Technology and innovation are what drive us, and these are the

values that also stand for iQOO. This is the perfect basis for a successful

partnership. We are very happy to welcome iQOO as a new Premium Partner on

board, and all the more so in the unusual and difficult times that we are

currently experiencing worldwide and also in motorsport. In addition, the iQOO

BMW M4 DTM looks great."

Since the start of the DTM season on the first weekend in August, Timo Glock

has already contested four races in the iQOO BMW M4 DTM at Spa-Francorchamps

(BEL) and at the Lausitzring (GER). He said: "It's great that BMW M Motorsport

has managed to attract such a large and forward-thinking concern as iQOO, the

high-end smartphone brand to the DTM as Premium Partner. This is a great sign

for the racing series, especially in these difficult times. I am particularly

happy to be back in my familiar colour of yellow from my first few years in the

DTM – when you look from the front, at least. I am enjoying driving the iQOO

BMW M4 DTM."

Glock contests his eighth DTM season in 2020. In his 116 races to date, he has

claimed five victories, five pole positions and 14 podium finishes.
