BMW Signs Tim Tramnitz as 2026 Works Driver in M4 GT3 Evo

Funding pressures plus scarce F2 seats redirected the 21-year-old toward a factory GT path.

Overview

  • He joins BMW on a GT3-only contract for now because Hypercar seats are full, with his exact race program to be announced.
  • He is no longer on Red Bull’s driver roster after two Formula 3 seasons that included two wins and fourth overall in 2025.
  • His planned move to Formula 2 for 2026 fell through over budget risk and limited grid availability, prompting the switch to GT racing.
  • He will participate in Formula 3 testing in Barcelona this week as a stand-in for Hitech’s injured Michael Shin.
  • BMW also adds Jordan Pepper to its 2026 works roster, with the pair replacing Jesse Krohn and Madison Snow.
