BMW Motorsport Junior racers Trent Hindman, Victor Bouveng, and Nick Cassidy—along with their chief instructor, Dirk Adorf—won the SP3 class in the 12 Hours of Brno in the Czech Republic. They drove an M235i Racing fielded by Walkenhorst Motorsport and BMW Motorsport.
It was the second win in just over a week for Hindman, who teamed with Ashley Freiberg to win the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge season finale at Road Atlanta in the #46 Fall-Line E92 M3.
The SP3 class at Brno included a mix of cars, mostly built to FIA GT4 Specs. Among them were an E92 M3, a Lotus Evora, an Aston Martin Vantage and a pair of Ginetta G50 GT4s.
Hindman said, “Two wins in a week – that's fantastic! Celebrating class victory here in Europe just a few days after the race in Road Atlanta feels very special. Many thanks to BMW Motorsport, Walkenhorst Motorsport and my teammates. It was an honor to work with them and fly the BMW Motorsport colors here.”
The BMW Junior program was established by BMW Motorsport in 2014 to develop young racers in GT and touring cars. BMW Juniors run in VLN races and other endurance races, drive Formula BMW cars, and participate in training in fitness and public relations.—Brian S. Morgan
