BMW has revealed the driver lineups for Paul Miller Racing’s pair of GTD Pro entries for the upcoming IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.

The Georgia-based outfit will run a pair of updated M4 GT3 EVOs for the 2025 campaign that kicks off with this month’s Rolex 24 at Daytona, having announced last year its plans to expand to a second car for the first time.

With Bryan Sellers having departed the team, BMW works driver Neil Verhagen will step up to join Madison Snow as a full-time driver for the No. 1 car, having been part of the lineup for the five Michelin Endurance Cup rounds last year.

Connor De Phillippi and BMW newcomer Kelvin van der Linde were named as endurance drivers for the car, with van der Linde set to make his debut as a works driver for the Bavarian manufacturer at Daytona this month.

The No. 48 entry will be driven full-time by Verhagen’s former BMW Junior Team colleagues Dan Harper and Max Hesse, who are set for their WeatherTech Championship debuts at Daytona having tested for Paul Miller at the Florida venue in November.

They will be supported for the long-distance races by Jesse Krohn and Augusto Farfus, who like De Phillippi were both part of BMW’s GTP roster last year.

Head of BMW M Motorsport Andreas Roos commented: “Paul Miller Racing is going all out with two BMW M4 GT3 EVOs in the GTD Pro class, supported by a high-class selection of works drivers.

“The reunion of the former BMW Junior Team with Dan Harper, Max Hesse, and Neil Verhagen in one championship and team is a great bonus that underlines the extreme success of the relaunch of the legendary BMW M Motorsport talent promotion program.”

As previously announced, Turner Motorsport’s GTD-entered M4 GT3 EVO will be piloted by Robby Foley and Patrick Gallagher, with Jake Walker the endurance driver and Jens Klingman completing the lineup for the Rolex 24.
