BMW Announce M Motorsport Works Driver Line-Up For The 2025 Season

The BMW M Motorsport works driver line-up for the 2025 season is complete. A total of 22 top-class drivers from twelve nations will compete globally as BMW M works drivers in the BMW M Hybrid V8 and the BMW M4 GT3 EVO. Kevin Magnussen (DEN), Kelvin van der Linde (RSA), and Ugo de Wilde (BEL) are three new additions to the team.

The 22 BMW M works drivers, including the nine-time motorcycle world champion Valentino Rossi (ITA), once again represent a wide range of characters, nationalities, and age groups. The Americans make up the largest group with five drivers, followed by Germany with four, and Belgium with three. Additionally, there are two South Africans, and one driver each from Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, and Switzerland. Ugo de Wilde, at 22 years old, is the youngest works driver and one of five born in 2000 or later. Ten drivers are under 30 years old. Bill Auberlen (USA) is the oldest driver at 56 years. Maxime Martin (BEL), Bruno Spengler (CAN), and Nick Yelloly (GBR) left BMW M Motorsport after the 2024 season.

Andreas Roos (Head of BMW M Motorsport): “We are competing in an intensive 2025 racing season with a sportingly first-class, versatile, and highly motivated line-up of BMW M works drivers. I am particularly pleased that we have such a high proportion of young drivers. This proves that we offer a good future perspective. We have an extensive racing programme and high expectations. Accordingly, each of our works drivers is incredibly valuable to us. An important change compared to the previous season is that we have defined a group of eight specialists for the BMW M Hybrid V8 who will compete in FIA WEC and IWSC. Our new BMW M4 GT3 EVO offers many opportunities for deployment worldwide for the entire squad.”
