Wittmann will drive in next February’s enduro with 2015 Supercars champion Mark Winterbottom and four-time Bathurst champion Steve Richards in a BMW M6 GT3.
Wittmann cut his teeth in Formula BMW in Europe before a three-year stint in European Formula 3 – twice finishing second in the F3 EuroSeries. He went on to win his first DTM title in 2014, backing that up with a second championship in 2016 driving a BMW M4.
“It is very exciting for me to be making my first start at the Bathurst 12 Hour,” he said.
“I have never been to Australia before, so there are a lot of new things awaiting me. At the moment, I only know the circuit from computer games. It is iconic, and it’s sure to be a lot of fun to drive.”
