DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – BMW has confirmed the lineups for its pair of GT cars, split one each between Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTD PRO) and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD) in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, with Paul Miller Racing and Turner Motorsport both fielding all-American full-season lineups.
In North America, Paul Miller Racing will make another attempt to win the title in the GTD PRO class with the No. 1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO and a total of four BMW M works drivers. Connor De Phillippi and Neil Verhagen (both USA) will be the regular drivers. They will be supported in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup races by Max Hesse (GER), while Dan Harper will join them in the Rolex 24 At Daytona (USA).
In the GTD category, BMW M works driver Robby Foley (USA) will share the cockpit with Patrick Gallagher (USA) as regular driver. Francis Selldorff (USA) joins them in the Endurance races, while BMW M works driver Jens Klingmann (GER) completes the quartet in the Rolex 24.
Connor De Phillippi (No. 1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, Paul Miller Racing, IMSA Series): “I can’t wait to contest the full IMSA season with Paul Miller Racing in 2026. I think we have a very strong driver line-up, which proved last season that it can win races and regularly compete at the front. With Neil at my side, the goal is to win the first overall title for Paul Miller Racing in GTD PRO.”
Neil Verhagen (No. 1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, Paul Miller Racing, IMSA Series): “I’m thrilled to be competing with Paul Miller Racing for my second full IMSA season. Last year I learnt a lot about the championship. While 2025 had a lot of good moments, there was also a lot to improve on. I’m looking forward to working with Connor and our new engineer throughout the season. I can’t wait to start 2026 in this constellation.”
Robby Foley (No. 96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, Turner Motorsport, IMSA Series): “I think it’s great that we have such consistency in the driver line-up at Turner Motorsport. I’m really looking forward to another year with the team in the IMSA GTD class. We had a very strong season in 2024 with wins and podiums and second place in the overall standings. Unfortunately, things didn’t go so well in 2025. Now we want to build on the performance we showed in 2024 in the coming season.”
