Mini and Bulldog Racing have announced the driver’s set -up for this year’s 24 hours of Nürburgring. Samantha Tan, the 27-year-old Asian-Canadian racing driver and co-owner of the ST racing team, is among the four talented pilots. It recently expanded its role as BMW M Motorsport Global Ambassador by 2026. In addition to the IMSA VP Racing Sportscar Challenge, where she drives a BMW M4 GT3 in the GTDX class, she will pilot a John Cooper work in the green hell this weekend.
With the experience in the 24h series, the 12h Mugello, the GT World Challenge America and the GT World Challenge Europe, she has certainly earned her place in the demanding Nürburgring endurance network. Samantha Tan (ST) Racing won victories in the Pirelli World Challenge in 2019 and 2020 in the Pirelli GT4 America series before securing the overall championship of the 24 -hour series in 2021. In 2022, St Racing provided the first overall victory of the M4 GT3 at the 12h Mugello. Another success followed in 2023 in the GTWC Road America and in the 3h Barcelona.
More than 130 cars are aligned for 24 hours for the beginning of the 53rd Nürburgring, with everyone on the strenuous 25.378-kilometer route (15.769 miles). Samantha is accompanied by Markus Fischer, who last year a class victory in the SP 3T category with a near-production no. 317 Mini John Cooper Works Profi.
You will share driving tasks with Sebastian Sauerbri and Toby Goodman in the hot hatch prefabricated by Track, who debut a bold new look for 2025. The updated Livery was designed by the design works subsidization of the BMW Group in cooperation with the Australian Apparel and the lifestyle brand Deus Ex Machina.
