Schubert Motorsport reveals Yokohama-liveried BMW M4 GT3 lineup for Nürburgring 24 Hours
The legendary Nürburgring 24 Hours is known for dramatic racing, elite driver lineups, and some of the most striking liveries in endurance motorsport. Schubert Motorsport has now revealed its factory BMW entry for the race, featuring a bold Yokohama-inspired design and an impressive driver roster.
Two former Intercontinental GT Challenge champions, Charles Weerts and Philipp Eng, will join Robin Frijns and Marco Wittmann in the team’s factory BMW M4 GT3 entry. The combination of experienced endurance racers and championship-winning drivers immediately makes the lineup one to watch for the gruelling 24-hour race at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

A powerful lineup for one of endurance racing’s toughest events
The Nürburgring 24 Hours is widely regarded as one of the most demanding races in motorsport. Drivers must tackle the daunting Nordschleife circuit, known as the “Green Hell,” with its combination of high-speed sections, technical corners, and unpredictable weather.
For this year’s race, Schubert Motorsport has assembled a lineup capable of competing with the best endurance teams in the world. Charles Weerts and Philipp Eng both bring championship-winning experience from the Intercontinental GT Challenge, while Robin Frijns and Marco Wittmann add significant factory racing pedigree.
Together, the four drivers form a balanced lineup that blends raw pace, endurance racing experience, and deep familiarity with BMW GT machinery. This combination is crucial for an event where consistency and teamwork often determine the final result.
The BMW M4 GT3 itself has already proven to be a competitive platform in international GT racing. With strong aerodynamics, a powerful twin-turbo engine, and endurance-focused engineering, the car is built to survive the extreme conditions of a 24-hour race.
