The driver line-up for BMW M Team RLL’s start to the second GTP season of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IMSA series) in 2024 has been confirmed. Like last season, Connor De Phillippi (USA) and Nick Yelloly (GBR) are the regular pairing in the #25 BMW M Hybrid V8. Jesse Krohn (FIN) joins Philipp Eng (AUT) in the #24 BMW M Hybrid V8. Augusto Farfus (BRA) and Maxime Martin (BEL) will support the two crews at the Daytona, Sebring and Road Atlanta (all USA) endurance races. Dries Vanthoor (BEL) and René Rast (GER) will also strengthen the team at the 24h Daytona.

De Phillippi and Yelloly are back for another crack at the IMSA title, having picked up one win and a total of five podiums in their successful first GTP season in 2023. Krohn, who spent three full seasons at the wheel of the BMW M8 GTE from 2018 to 2020, returns to the IMSA series as a regular driver alongside Eng. Krohn’s biggest successes to date came in 2020, when he won the 24h Daytona and the title in the GTLM class of the Michelin Endurance Cup.

Farfus will also be back in the cockpit of the #24 BMW M Hybrid V8. He will support Eng and Krohn in three races of the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup that comprises five rounds next season. These are the long-distance races at Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta and, for the first time, Indianapolis. This former 2 hour 40 minute sprint is being extended to a six-hour endurance race in 2024. Martin will contest the three classics at Daytona, Sebring and Road Atlanta together with De Phillippi and Yelloly in the #25 BMW M Hybrid V8. Vanthoor and Rast will also join BMW M Team RLL for the 24 Hours of Daytona in January 2024.

In addition, BMW M works drivers Neil Verhagen (USA), Sheldon van der Linde (RSA), Jens Klingmann (GER), Madison Snow (USA) and Robby Foley (USA) will compete in the GTD classes with the BMW M4 GT3 at the Daytona season opener. Verhagen and van der Linde will join reigning champions Paul Miller Racing with regular drivers Snow and Bryan Sellers (USA). Klingmann will once again compete with Turner Motorsport in the squad with regular driver Foley as well as Patrick Gallagher and Jake Walker (both USA).
