Walkenhorst Confirm GT World Challenge Europe Programme

One full-season Sprint and Endurance BMW, second car In Endurance Cup

Walkenhorst Motorsport has confirmed its plans for the 2023 GT World Challenge Europe season, the German team set to compete with a pair of BMW M4 GT3s.

The 2018 24 Hours of Spa winners will run one full-season crew in the Silver category and one in the Pro-Am class for the endurance rounds.

Though its driver roster is largely complete, Walkenhorst Motorsport still has one spot left to fill.

This news means that BMW is set for a significantly expanded presence on this season’s GT Sprint Cup grid. The German brand has not been involved in the short-format championship since 2018, but with Walkenhorst joining Team WRT there will be at least three M4 GT3 entries this season.

Both squads will be present for the World Challenge Europe Powered test days, which take place at Circuit Paul Ricard on 7-8 March. The Endurance season launches at Monza on 21-23 April, while the Sprint campaign gets under way at Brands Hatch on 13-14 May.
