BMW M4 GT3 EVO Triumphs At Le Castellet Endurance Cup Opener

The BMW M4 GT3 EVO made a statement from the outset of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, powering to overall victory and multiple podium finishes at the six-hour race in Le Castellet. Starting ninth on the grid, one of Team WRT’s entries steadily climbed through the field as night fell on the French circuit, with the cooler temperatures playing to the car’s strengths. Taking control of the lead in the latter stages, the #32 crew confidently closed the race to stand on the podium’s top step, marking a noteworthy achievement for BMW M Motorsport’s latest GT challenger.

ROWE Racing’s #98 machine battled from 13th on the grid to a hard-fought sixth overall, while Century Motorsport secured a respectable result in the Silver Cup. Not every entry enjoyed an uninterrupted run, as a few teams were forced to retire early, but overall morale remained high thanks to the car’s proven pace and durability.

BMW M Motorsport representatives credited the M4 GT3 EVO’s technical package and teamwork for this positive start, highlighting the car’s adaptability during variable track conditions. They also emphasised how these results serve as a springboard for the remainder of the season, with teams drawing confidence from outright speed and class successes. Although the competition at Le Castellet was fierce, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO showed its potential to succeed in endurance racing, setting a promising tone for the upcoming rounds.
