BMW M Motorsport and the BMW Junior Team ended two eventful weeks in North America with the 24 Hours of Sebring (USA). Dan Harper (GBR), Max Hesse (GER) and Neil Verhagen (USA) started with a visit to BMW Team RLL at Petit Le Mans, Road Atlanta (USA). This was followed by a tour of the BMW Group plant in Spartanburg (USA), a trip to see Verhagen’s family at their home, and then the test race with the new BMW M4 GT3 at Sebring International Raceway, where Hesse and Verhagen competed alongside US drivers Bill Auberlen, Robby Foley and James Clay. The race in the Creventic 24H Series served as the final test for the new car at one of the toughest circuits in the world. BMW M Motorsport also used the weekend to hand over the new BMW M4 GT3 from the test crew at BMW Team RMG to the North American teams.

The BMW Junior Team: Dan Harper, Neil Verhagen and Max Hesse.

“We learned an awful lot in the collaboration with BMW Team RLL and the BMW works drivers. Plus, it was nice to be involved in the farewell race for the BMW M8 GTE and sample the atmosphere at Road Atlanta.”
Max Hesse, race driver BMW Junior Team

A SUCCESFUL SECOND YEAR.

Mentor Jochen Neerpasch is highly satisfied with the team.

After a trip to the largest BMW Group plant in the world, in Spartanburg, Harper, Hesse and Verhagen visited the BMW Car Club of America Foundation with their mentor Jochen Neerpasch. It possesses a fascinating exhibition of vintage BMW vehicles and other BMW collectibles. For Neerpasch and the Juniors, the trip to the USA marked the end of two years together.

ENDURANCE TEST FOR BMW M4 GT3.

The 24 Hours of Sebring was the final endurance test for the car, before it goes in search of victories and titles from January 2022. When it does so, it will be in the hands of private BMW M Motorsport teams, some of which are based in North America.
