BMW really wants to win this race.
It wants to win this race so badly that it booked the tough-to-get circuit for private test days late last year, flying a throng of German technicians out as part of a special reconnaissance project.
It booked a ticket for two-time DTM champion Marco Wittman to join Australian aces Mark Winterbottom and Steven Richards in the lead car.
It convinced legendary V8 Supercar driver Mark Skaife to come out of retirement and share an M6 GT3 with former co-driver Tony Longhurst, former arch-nemesis Russell Ingall and former F1 pilot Timo Glock.
The brand is quite serious about its GT campaign, one that has been fruitless since BMW returned to local racing early last year, as four-time Bathurst 1000 winner and 2014 Porsche Carrera Cup champion Steven Richards struggles to extract consistent pace from the complex, twin-turbo machine.
While it won the 2016 Spa 24 Hours in Belgium when officials punished Mercedes-AMG rivals for technical breaches, the BMW enters this weekend's race as something of an unknown quantity.
It really needs a win.
