Kelvin van der Linde will join BMW's factory driver program in 2025, reuniting with his brother Sheldon van der Linde. The two-time Nurburgring 24 Hours winner will compete in an extensive racing program with the BMW M4 GT3 evo, likely including the World Endurance Championship, GT World Challenge Europe, and select endurance classics.
BMW has announced that Kelvin van der Linde will join its pool of factory drivers in 2025, two years after he split with rival German brand Audi. As reported by Motorsport .com last week, the South African will unite with younger brother Sheldon van der Linde in BMW ’s factory roster next year after spending the last two seasons as an independent driver without any manufacturer affiliation.
