Rene Rast is trying to adapt to the new BMW M4 in the DTM this year following his switch from Audi, but he is unsure if he will be able to fully gel with the car ever.
"You can never tell if the point will come that you really drive on the same level as Sheldon," he says in an interview with Motorsport.com’s sister title. Motorsport-Total.com.
Both van der Linde and Wittmann have one season of racing with the M4 GT3 under their belt, with the former also getting more mileage when he drove the car to victory in the Kyalami 9 Hours earlier this year.Rast explained that he is still having to make changes in his own driving to get the maximum out of the BMW, which is radically different to the Audi with which he finished third in the championship last year.
“I still see a tendency in myself to try to force the car into corners too much. The synapses in my head still have to be linked and the others need to be deleted. I'm sure that will take a while. "You think to yourself that you can actually drive faster, but you have to force yourself not to so that you get the good exit that suits the BMW," he said.
