SAMANTHA TAN Captures Bronze Drivers’ Championship at Road Atlanta Season Finale

October 14, 2025

• SAMANTHA TAN delivered when it mattered most at Road Atlanta, securing back-to-back third-place finishes in her #38 ST Racing M4 GT3 to clinch the Bronze Class drivers’ championship in the VP Challenge series. While the overall battle between Walker and Adelson grabbed headlines, TAN quietly put together the consistency needed to claim her title among FIA Bronze-rated drivers.
• The season finale showcased exactly the kind of clean, hard racing we want to see more of in IMSA competition. Walker and Adelson’s rivalry proved you can fight tooth and nail for championships without the contact and aggressive moves that forced stewards to crack down elsewhere this season – a masterclass in respect that didn’t sacrifice intensity.
• BMW’s strong showing across multiple series continued at Road Atlanta, with the manufacturer ending tied with Porsche in the Michelin Pilot Challenge manufacturers’ championship after eight podiums throughout the season. The momentum builds toward 2026, with VP Challenge opening during the Roar Before the 24 weekend and Michelin Pilot Challenge kicking off at Daytona in late January.
