Samantha Tan Debuts with MINI at 24H Nürburgring

Samantha Tan Makes MINI Racing Debut at 24H Nürburgring in John Cooper Works Line-Up

The legendary Nürburgring 24-Hour Race is a pinnacle of endurance motorsport, and for the 2025 edition, MINI John Cooper Works and Bulldog Racing are putting forth a team of dynamic, highly-skilled drivers. At the heart of this line-up is Samantha Tan, a 27-year-old Canadian motorsport phenomenon making her debut in the world-famous ‘Green Hell’.

A Rising Star Behind the Wheel of MINI JCW

Samantha Tan is not just a racing driver — she is a champion and team owner, with an impressive resume that includes victories in the 24H Series, 12H Mugello, GT World Challenge America, and Europe. Known for her calm precision and bold racecraft, Tan brings her global racing credentials to the MINI JCW cockpit with high expectations.

Her participation at Nürburgring is a powerful symbol of how MINI continues to inspire the next generation — with both performance and personality. The MINI John Cooper Works, with its compact design and racing DNA, is the perfect match for Tan’s driving style and determination.

A Formidable Team for the 2025 Challenge

MINI and Bulldog Racing have assembled a team of seasoned professionals and exciting young talents for the #317 MINI John Cooper Works Pro:

• Markus Fischer (Austria) – Looking for his second consecutive class victory after his 2024 triumph, Fischer is fast and fearless on Nürburgring's brutal 25.378-kilometre course.
• Sebastian Sauerbrei (Germany) – A Nürburgring veteran whose deep knowledge of the track provides a valuable edge in endurance conditions.
• Toby Goodman (UK) – At just 23, Goodman has already made a name for himself in the MINI Challenge Trophy and brings relentless energy to the team.

This high-performance line-up underscores MINI’s continued commitment to motorsport and engineering excellence, both on and off the track.
