• SAMANTHA TAN brings serious endurance racing credentials to MINI’s Nürburgring 24 Hours effort, fresh off extending her BMW M Motorsport Global Ambassador deal through 2026. The 27-year-old Asian-Canadian racer and ST Racing co-owner has been making moves across multiple series while building her own racing empire.
• Her resume reads like a masterclass in endurance racing progression – from Pirelli World Challenge victories in 2019-2020 to the overall 24H Series championship in 2021, plus delivering the M4 GT3’s first overall win at 12H Mugello in 2022. That’s the kind of track record that gets you noticed when 130+ cars line up at the Green Hell.
• She’ll pilot the track-prepped MINI John Cooper Works alongside Markus Fischer (last year’s SP-3T class winner), Sebastian Sauerbrei, and Toby Goodman in a machine sporting fresh Designworks livery inspired by a “moving sketchbook.” The June 19-22 event puts her endurance expertise to the ultimate test on the demanding 15.769-mile Nordschleife.
