2025 ENTRY: BMW announces full line-up with Marciello at ROWE and new faces at Team WRT

BMW has revealed its full line-up for the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS season.

The German brand will be represented by eight crews in the Endurance Cup and five in Sprint, all of which will use the new M4 GT3 EVO.  

Among the notable driver announcements, multiple series champion Raffaele Marciello switches to ROWE Racing where he will partner Augusto Farfus and Jesse Krohn, the latter returning to full-time action for the first time since 2018. 

Team WRT will field newly-signed BMW factory drivers Ugo de Wilde and Kelvin van der Linde alongside Charles Weerts in its flagship #32 machine, while a new trio of youngsters join the #30 entry to compete for Silver Cup honours. Team WRT will also field a satellite programme for AlManar Racing featuring Al Faisal Al Zubair, Jens Klingmann and Ben Tuck.

Paradine Competition steps up to a two-car full-season effort anchored by Darren Leung and Dan Harper, while Century Motorsport and Ceccato Racing have both announced Endurance Cup programmes for the season ahead. Check out the full BMW line-up below.
