First picture: Bell in Schnitzer BMW.

First picture of BMW racer Martyn Bell in the ex-Dirk Muller World Touring Car Championship Schnitzer BMW 320 in which he will race in the 2006 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.

Bell, who has raced in the UK for a number of years, gets delivery of the car which took second place in the WTCC in 2005.

As well as the car, Bell will receive technical support from the Schnitzer squad who run the works BMWs in the WTCC, although the effort in the UK is an Independent entry, run by Geoff Steel Racing.

"Our goals for 2006 are simple: qualify well and get off the line cleanly... if we can do that then the rest should follow," says Bell of his approach to the season.
