GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • SAMANTHA TAN co-drove the No. 38 BMW M4 GT4 EVO for ST Racing by Random Vandals in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge at Indianapolis, climbing from 24th to 15th before an off-track incident derailed their effort.
  • Paired with veteran BMW factory driver Bill Auberlen, TAN showed strong pace during her stint, demonstrating competitive speed in the Grand Sport class before the costly mistake reset their progress.
  • Despite Auberlen’s determined recovery drive, the team ultimately finished 27th in class at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 120, unable to overcome the significant time deficit from the earlier incident.
