Turner Motorsport has confirmed its two-car BMW M4 GT4 lineup for its title defense in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, featuring reigning champion Robby Foley and a series debut for Francis Selldorff.

Foley, who won last year’s GS title alongside Vin Barletta, will pilot the No. 96 BMW alongside series newcomer Selldorff, who steps up from the VP Racing SportsCar Challenge.

The 22-year-old won the GSX title on his first attempt, claiming one race victory and five further podiums to beat Sebastian Carazo to the championship.

The sister No. 95 BMW, meanwhile, will be driven by Robert Megennis, who scored two class podiums last year, and Dillon Machavern.

Machavern, who was part of Turner’s 2019 GTD class victory at Motul Petit Le Mans, returns to the team after a year away.

“The 2023 IMSA season was one of our best,” said team owner Will Turner.

“The VP and IMPC championships were capped with Turner winning the BMW Sport Trophy Team title as the most successful BMW Customer Racing team in the world.

“All of that will be hard to beat, but we are ready to go with what I believe is one of our strongest driver lineups. Welcome back to Dillon Machavern and Megennis, Foley and Selldorf. Strong, strong, strong, and strong.”
