Turner Motorsport is preparing to celebrate an important milestone with its 30th anniversary in racing in 2027, reaffirming its partnership with BMW and reintroducing an old familiar to its permanent driver lineup.
Based in New Hampshire, the team will focus its campaign for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship around the number 96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO car in the GTD class, with drivers Robby Foley and Jake Walker as official teammates.
Walker returns to Turner after having been a driver in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup during the 2024 and 2025 seasons. In his first stint with the team, he achieved an impressive second place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2024, thus contributing to Turner’s second position in the GTD championship. He also excelled with a fifth place at the Rolex 24 At Daytona in 2025 and won nine races, finishing as the runner-up in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge GTDX championship.
Walker has expressed his excitement about returning to a team he feels comfortable with and has highlighted his learning during his previous experience in the IMSA.
The team owner, Will Turner, has emphasized Walker’s growth as a key factor for his rejoining alongside Foley, with whom he will compete throughout the season. Turner added that both figures will be prominent contenders in the championship battle.
For Foley, 2027 will mark his tenth season with Turner Motorsport and his ninth as a full-time driver in the GTD class. Following a standout year where he won multiple titles and finished second in the IMSA GTD championship, Foley hopes to carry the momentum from his success into the new season.
With the formation of their main duo secured, Turner Motorsport is now looking for an experienced Silver category driver to complete the endurance seat for the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup events.
The 2027 season not only marks a new chapter for Turner Motorsport but also commemorates three decades of success in the racing world, accumulating over 700 entries and 13 titles throughout its history, solidifying its status as a reference in GT competition.
