SAMANTA TAN Locks Down Two GTDX Podiums as BMWs Battle at VIR Triple Header

August 26, 2025

• SAMANTA TAN delivered the consistency we love to see, locking down third place finishes in the first two VP Challenge GTDX races at VIR in her ST Racing M4 GT3. While Jake Walker dominated the weekend with three wins, TAN proved she belongs in this fight, trading positions with Vin Barletta through the races and staying ahead of the competition that matters.
• The third race showcased TAN’s racecraft as she capitalized on a more competitive battle up front. When Walker and Adam Adelson were trading paint and positions, TAN kept her nose clean and crossed the line third again – exactly the kind of smart, points-scoring drive that builds championships. She’s showing the field that consistency beats heroics every time.
• With only four GTDX entries at VIR, every position mattered, and TAN made hers count. While the series heads to Road Atlanta for the final two rounds, she’s established herself as a legitimate podium threat who doesn’t crack under pressure. In a class where one mistake can cost you everything, that’s the kind of driver you want to watch.
