BARCELONA BASF BEAUTY 🎯

Team WRT’s #69 BMW M4 GT3 EVO is getting another legendary makeover.

For the penultimate round of the 2026 FIA WEC, #69 will hit Barcelona wearing the iconic red-and-white BASF design, inspired by an early-eighties motorsport icon and famously seen on the BMW M1.

The livery’s distinctive circles were designed to mimic the spiral mechanics of a cassette tape.

Anthony McIntosh, Parker Thompson and Dan Harper currently sit eighth in the LMGT3 drivers’ standings, but with two rounds still to go and plenty of points on the table, it’s all to play for!

#69 takes to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on October 16th.

ENDURANCE CUP WINNERS AND P2 OVERALL AT PETIT LE MANS 🏆

BMW M Team WRT's #24 trio, Dries Vanthoor, Sheldon van der Linde and Robin Frijns, round off their IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship by claiming a hard-fought 2nd place, and Endurance Cup win at the season finale at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.

Unfortunately the #25 did not reach the chequered flag due to an crash whilst running in a strong position. The most important thing is that Kevin, who was at the wheel at the time, is okay, and was cleared by the medical centre soon after the incident.

We aRe a Team 🇧🇪🇩🇪🇺🇸

The finale of the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is here, and what a season it’s been.

Both #24 and #25 have stepped onto the podium multiple times, including our historic win at Indianapolis last month.

These incredible achievements would not have been possible without the endless hard work from everyone at BMW M Team WRT, not just those at the track, but those back in Bierset, Munich and Charlotte also.

So, for one last time this season, ladies and gentlemen… start your engines!
