IMSA – Road America: BMW strategy triumphs, sweeps both GTP and GTD

BMW M Team RLL made a decisive strategic call to secure a commanding 1–2 finish in GTP at Road America. With just under an hour remaining, both cars pitted under green — and when a caution flew minutes later, the #24 BMW M Hybrid V8 of Dries Vanthoor and Philipp Eng emerged in front. Teammates Marco Wittmann and Sheldon van der Linde followed closely in the #25, delivering BMW’s first GTP win of the year. The #93 Acura of Nick Yelloly and Renger van der Zande challenged late but settled for third.

BMW also claimed top honours in GTD Pro, where Neil Verhagen and Madison Snow guided the #1 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3 EVO to victory. The duo managed traffic and late pressure to beat the #64 Ford Mustang GT3 and the #81 DragonSpeed Ferrari to the line, extending BMW’s sweep of the day.

In LMP2, AO Racing’s PJ Hyett and Dane Cameron made it two in a row with another dominant drive in the #99 ORECA, holding off Inter Europol and TDS Racing after leading from pole.

GTD went to Triarsi Competizione, with Kenton Koch making a bold late pass in Turn 6 to bring home a maiden win for the #021 Ferrari he shares with Onofrio Triarsi. Forte Racing and Conquest completed a surprise Ferrari-Lamborghini-Ferrari podium after Corvette’s late-race fade.

GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS – Magny-Cours: Sprint title race heats up at Magny-Cours

Race 1

Grasser Racing claimed its first Sprint Cup win since 2018 as Jordan Pepper and Luca Engstler took victory in Saturday’s sunset race. Engstler held the lead early from pole, but a slow front-left tyre change dropped them behind the #96 Rutronik Porsche. Pepper wasn’t faze: after stalking Sven Müller through the mid-part of the race, he made a decisive pass into Chateau d’Eau following a full-course yellow restart. The #63 Lamborghini went on to win by just over a second.

WRT’s #32 BMW vaulted into third via an early stop, beating the #48 Winward Mercedes to the podium and keeping Kelvin van der Linde and Charles Weerts in the title hunt.

In the classes, Louis Prette and Tom Fleming took Gold Cup honours in the #58 Garage 59 McLaren. Jamie Day and Kobe Pauwels made it two in a row in Silver Cup for Comtoyou Racing, while Bashar Mardini and Bastian Buus won in Bronze for Lionspeed GP, holding off a strong late charge from the Paradine BMW.

Race 2

On Sunday, Marvin Kirchhöfer and Benjamin Goethe brought the #59 Garage 59 McLaren to a second win in three races, converting pole into victory in a tense race with the Grasser Lamborghini. Kirchhöfer held the lead early but couldn’t shake Jordan Pepper, who handed over to Luca Engstler mid-race. Engstler exited the pits just behind Goethe and spent the final laps glued to his rear bumper, but Goethe soaked up the pressure and won by just 0.156 seconds for the closest finish of the season.

Kelvin van der Linde and Charles Weerts again finished third for WRT, keeping a narrow lead in the championship. The #51 AF Corse Ferrari of Thomas Neubauer and Alessandro Cozzi came home fourth, ahead of Sven Müller and Patric Niederhauser in the #96 Rutronik Porsche.

In the Gold Cup, Paul Evrard and Gilles Magnus claimed victory for Saintéloc Racing after trouble struck Thierry Vermeulen and Chris Lulham in the Emil Frey Ferrari. Silver Cup went once again to Jamie Day and Kobe Pauwels, making it three wins in a row for the #21 Comtoyou Aston Martin. In Bronze, Rinat Salikhov and Marvin Dienst brought Winward Racing its first class win of the season, beating Dennis Marschall and Dustin Blattner in the Kessel Racing Ferrari.

Italian GT Endurance – Imola: Hodenius wins on debut as D’Auria returns to the top

Jean-Luc D’Auria and Lin Hodenius stormed to overall victory in the 3-hour Italian GT Endurance race at Imola, delivering a dominant performance for Iron Lynx in the #611 Mercedes-AMG GT3. While Hodenius celebrated victory on his series debut, it marked a triumphant return for D’Auria, who previously won in 2023. The pair led 79 of the 91 laps from pole despite several safety car interruptions and pit lane drama.

Behind them, Anthony McIntosh and Brendon Leitch charged from ninth to second overall in the #22 BMW M4 GT3, also winning the GT3 Am class in their first race with BMW Italia-Ceccato Racing.

In a standout run, the #1073 AF Corse Ferrari 296 Challenge of Andreas Bogh-Sorensen and Mikkel Mac finished third overall and claimed GT Cup Pro-Am honours. After a rapid opening stint, they even led the race outright during the middle hour and crossed the 100-minute mark in first position in the GT Cup class.

Points leaders Rocco Mazzola, Fabio Rauer, and Riccardo Cazzaniga finished fourth overall in the #994 Tresor Attempto Racing Audi R8 LMS, recovering from a stop-go penalty to extend their lead in the standings after a troubled race for rivals Leonardo Colavita, Ibrahim Badawi, and David Vidales, who finished 13th aboard the #62 AF Corse Ferrari following a pit stop penalty.

GT Cup – Silverstone: Track Focused sweep Silverstone in dominant GT Cup weekend

Track Focused completed a perfect weekend at Silverstone with three wins from three races, capping off the event with a wet-weather masterclass in Sunday’s 100-minute endurance race. Darren and James Kell led the charge in the #23 McLaren 720S GT3, fending off heavy pressure from PB Racing throughout all three contests.

Saturday saw the Kell duo take two sprint victories from pole, holding firm against Peter Erceg’s PB Racing Audi while chaos unfolded behind. Topcats Racing’s Charlotte Gilbert grabbed two GTC wins, while SB Engineering (GTO), Innovation Racing (GTH), and SVG Motorsport (GTA) each earned class honours.
