NEWTON, N.H. (November 10, 2026) – Turner Motorsport will enter its 30th season of professional racing, exclusively with BMW, in 2027, headlined by its No. 96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with a familiar face returning to the driver line up.
Jake Walker returns to Turner Motorsport, taking on full-season driving duties alongside BMW M Works driver Robby Foley.
With full season driver lineup confirmed, the team looks to add an experienced and funded Silver-rated driver in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup seat Jake Walker previously filled with Turner Motorsport in 2024 and 2025.
Walker made his IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship debut with the team in 2024, earning a second-place podium finish at Indianapolis Motor Speedway helping the team score second in the GTD championship. In 2025, Walker contributed to the team’s best-ever Rolex 24 Hour at Daytona result, finishing fifth. He also recorded an impressive nine wins to finish second in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge GTDX championship, along with a race start in IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge.
Foley returns to Turner Motorsport for his 10th season with the team and ninth full-time in GTD. The BMW M Works driver plays an integral role in the team’s success, including mentoring and coaching younger drivers such as Walker, contributing to Turner’s strong driver development pipeline. The 30-year-old most recently captured his fourth championship title under the Turner banner after winning the Indianapolis 8 Hour and securing the Pro title in GT World Challenge America. He also finished second in the IMSA GTD championship.
The Newton, New Hampshire-based team will celebrate its 30th season of professional racing in 2027, all with BMW and H&R Special Springs, in 2027. The now iconic yellow-and-blue-liveried BMW first appeared in 1998, with team owner Will Turner behind the wheel of a BMW 328is in the SPEEDVISION World Challenge Touring Car Championship at Heartland Park.
The team made its Grand-Am debut with a two-car operation featuring the BMW 330i in the Street Tuner class. Turner Motorsport entered GT competition in 2010 with the BMW M3, in what is now known as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. With over 700 race starts and 13 championship titles across IMSA and SRO, Turner Motorsport enters the 2027 season with the same hunger for race wins, championships, and tacos.
Jake Walker, Driver of the No. 96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO
“I’m really excited to be back with Turner Motorsport and BMW Motorsport for the 2027 season. I’ve always had a great relationship with the Turner team, and it means a lot to have the opportunity to return full-time.
“I’ve learned a tremendous amount as a driver during my first full-time IMSA season, and I’m excited to bring that experience back to the team. I have a lot of confidence in the people around me, and I’m looking forward to getting to work and seeing what we can accomplish together.”
Robby Foley, Driver of the No. 96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO
“I’m really looking forward to the 2027 season. It’s going to be exciting having Jake back in the car after a year away from the team. I think we made some significant improvements our package in 2026. Ultimately, it was a disappointing ending to a great championship run. I’m looking forward to carrying that momentum into 2027 with the whole team and having another great season.”
Will Turner, Team Owner
“I’m happy to have Jake Walker back in our GTD car, but this time as Robby’s full-season co-driver. Jake really impressed me as our endurance driver when he ran with us in 2024 and 2025. He and Robby are going to be championship contenders for sure.”
