Known for her dynamic presence both on and off the track, the 27-year-old Asian-Canadian driver is set to continue inspiring the next generation of racers while blazing new trails with BMW.
Fueling Passion and Performance on a Global Stage
Samantha Tan’s renewed partnership with BMW will see her make high-profile appearances across North America, Europe, and Asia over the next two years. Already a fierce competitor in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge, she’s been making waves behind the wheel of a BMW M4 GT3 in the GTDX class.
