GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • SAMANTHA TAN is making her spectacular debut at the legendary Nürburgring 24 Hours race, bringing serious credentials to the Green Hell. The 27-year-old Canadian isn’t just a champion driver – she’s also a team owner of Samantha Tan Racing, proving she’s building an empire while still competing at the highest level.
  • Her resume reads like a masterclass in endurance racing: victories in the 24H Series, 12H Mugello, GT World Challenge America, and GT World Challenge Europe. With hundreds of thousands of global fans following her journey, TAN has become the kind of role model we need more of – someone showing the next generation that fearless dream-chasing actually works.
  • She’s joining a four-driver MINI John Cooper Works and Bulldog Racing lineup that includes Austrian Markus Fischer (coming off a 2024 class victory), German veteran Sebastian Sauerbrei, and 23-year-old British talent Toby Goodman. The team clearly knows talent when they see it, and TAN’s extensive endurance racing experience makes her the perfect addition for tackling 24 hours on the world’s most demanding circuit.
