TrueScale (TSM Model) — TSM430978 | BMW M4 GT3 EVO #3 — Kelvin van der Linde — Race 2 Winner, DTM Zandvoort (2026)

Campaigned in the fiercely contested DTM championship during the 2026 Zandvoort weekend in the Netherlands, this BMW M4 GT3 EVO bearing start number #3 was driven by South African factory driver Kelvin van der Linde. Incorporating Munich's comprehensive EVO package, the car introduced aerodynamic refinements—such as reshaped front fender louvers, reduced-drag aero wing mirrors, and revised rear wing mountings—alongside enhanced mechanical compliance. The Dutch meeting marked an outstanding triumph: mastering the sand-swept asphalt and iconic banked corners of Circuit Zandvoort, van der Linde turned in a masterclass of racecraft and pit execution to capture a commanding victory in Race 2, holding off intense pressure from the chasing pack across the sprint distance.

Power is supplied by BMW Motorsport’s competition-honed 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine (P58), generating up to 590 horsepower and over 700 Nm of torque under the series' Balance of Performance parameters. Coupled with a 6-speed Xtrac sequential transaxle operated via paddle shifters, the car made full use of the EVO-spec 4-way adjustable KW Racing dampers, which drastically reduced tire degradation across the undulating sweeps of the Hugenholtz and Luyendyk banked sections. This hard-fought Race 2 win provided definitive proof of the EVO package's agility and van der Linde's race-winning precision behind the wheel of the #3 racer.
