SAMANTHA TAN Claims Bronze Cup Title as BMW Teams Sweep Season Finales

October 15, 2025

• SAMANTHA TAN delivered when it mattered most, claiming the Bronze Cup title in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge with two third-place finishes that counted as class victories in her #38 BMW M4 GT3. While Jake Walker dominated the GSX class with six consecutive wins, TAN’s consistent performance throughout the season proved that smart racing beats flashy drives every time.
• BMW teams swept championships across multiple series, with FK Performance Motorsport making history as the first team to win an overall NLS title with the BMW M4 GT4. After 13 years of grinding in the series, they dominated with nine class victories in ten races – proving that persistence and the right machinery can rewrite the record books at the Nürburgring.
• The GT4 European Series saw mixed fortunes for BMW competitors, with Berkay Besler and Gabriele Piana securing a strong third place in the Silver Class despite missing the championship. Meanwhile, the season finale proved brutal for Jean-Mathieu Leandri and Antoni de Barn, whose title hopes vanished after a collision ended their perfect points streak when they needed it most.
