MADELINE STEWART Finishes Ninth Overall in Four-Hour BMW M Endurance Challenge

January 24, 2026

• New Zealand’s MADELINE STEWART delivered a solid ninth-place overall finish for CSM in the #2 Porsche 718 during the four-hour BMW M Endurance Challenge, positioning herself well within the top 10 of a competitive field that saw dramatic lead changes and strategic pit stop battles throughout the race.
• While the headlines focused on the late-race drama between Denis Dupont’s winning charge and the heartbreak of Josh Buchan’s team falling from first to third in the final two laps, STEWART’s consistent performance kept her in contention throughout the grueling endurance test, showcasing the kind of steady racecraft that wins championships.
• The race proved that endurance racing rewards both speed and strategy, as STEWART avoided the pitfalls that caught other competitors – unlike Cameron Shields who was penalized for a Safety Car breach and finished 34 laps down, or Mario Farnbacher’s team that lost a podium shot due to pit lane penalties and a puncture from an ill-timed lock-up.
