“What an incredible weekend it has been for us and our BMW M Motorsport teams! Title win in the Intercontinental GT Challenge for Charles Weerts. Pro-Am title in the GT World Challenge America for Turner Motorsport. Title sweep for BMW Italia Ceccato Racing in the Italian GT Championship. In addition, driver and manufacturer titles in the BTCC as well as class victories at Indianapolis. I am almost at a loss for words to honour these triumphs. Congratulations to all the champions, and a big thank you to all the teams, drivers, and BMW M Motorsport staff who make weekends like this possible through their skill and dedication. I am incredibly proud!”

Indianapolis. Great joy for BMW M Motorsport: In a true heart-stopping finale, Sheldon van der Linde (RSA), Dries Vanthoor, and Charles Weerts (both BEL) triumphed at the Indianapolis 8 Hour. At the finish, the trio in the #31 BMW M4 GT3 from Team WRT had a lead of 0.260 seconds over second place. This secured BMW M works driver Weerts the Drivers' Title at the season finale of the Intercontinental GT Challenge. In the GT World Challenge America powered by AWS, Justin Rothberg and Robby Foley (both USA) in the #29 BMW M4 GT3 from Turner Motorsport grabbed the title in the Pro-Am class.

The foundation was laid at the start: In just a few corners, van der Linde brought the #31 BMW M4 GT3, in the design of Premium Technology Partner Shell, from fourth to second place. After the first driver change, Weerts took the lead at the Motorsport Speedway, which would last for a long time. At times, the trio from Team WRT was half a minute ahead of the rest of the field.

Björn Lellmann, Head of Customer Racing at BMW M Motorsport:

“In the motorsport series worldwide, the weeks of truth are beginning, where titles will be decided. Last weekend, the British GT Championship held its season finale. Century Motorsport gave a strong performance with two podium finishes. After the fantastic title win in 2023, this season was more challenging, but we are proud to have our cars so well represented in British GT. I am especially happy for CarBahn Motorsports, who claimed their first victory in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge with the BMW M4 GT4. Congratulations to all the teams and drivers who have been successful in recent weeks. October will be extremely exciting – and hopefully, we will have many titles to celebrate with our BMW M Motorsport teams. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!”
