CAMIL PERIAN DRIVERS
The BMW brand is a lasting success because passionate racing drivers and engineers like him. People are the soul of our brand and it was a privilege to have Marin Dumitrescu next to BMW 328 after more than 60 years. “Today we honoured an amazing Romanian legend with a German icon in a historical reunion. While BMW 328 and Marin Dumitrescu marked the start of the event, the Concours was closed with the presentation of the Braşov “Blue Streamline”, the most successful Romanian Formula Student Team, as a reference to next racing and automotive legends. He was also present at the Sinaia Concours d’Elegance driving the Cadillac V16 90 Series, as technical consultant of the Ţiriac Collection restauration workshop. His grandson, Andrei Dumitrescu, is continuing his legacy as racing driver. He gained further recognition as a rally team manager and an engineer, with a career that spans over 30 years. He later became one of the most influential figures of national racing, with over 30 titles of National Champion in various events. The 98 years old Romanian racing driver has a special connection with the BMW 328, as he dominated the Romanian competitions with such a model modified and prepared in the Bucharest Vulcan Factory. The reunion with legendary Marin Dumitrescu was another emotional moment.
