After remaining ‘manufacturer neutral’ since quitting Audi, van der Linde is set to land a new works contract with BMW
GT racing star Kelvin van der Linde is poised to join BMW's factory roster in 2025, but any such deal would leave him without a seat in the DTM. According to Motorsport.com's sister title Motorsport-Total.com, all signs point to van der Linde following his younger brother Sheldon in driving for the Bavarian brand next year. It is understood that an agreement has been reached between the two parties, but no contract has been signed yet.
Although the 28-year-old was previously included in Audi's stillborn LMDh project, he has very limited experience in prototype machinery, having only competed in two Asian Le Mans events in 2021. BMW also recently signed ex-Formula 1 racer Kevin Magnussen for a Hypercar drive, leaving even fewer opportunities for other drivers in its fold.
