Neil Verhagen is a Gold-rated BMW Motorsport factory driver competing across major GT and endurance championships worldwide. The American joined BAM Motorsport Management with an already impressive background, progressing from the BMW Junior Programme to a full factory role and establishing himself as one of the marque’s most versatile young talents.
In 2025, Neil competed in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with Paul Miller Racing in the GTD Pro class. He delivered a strong season that included a podium finish at the Sebring 12 Hours, his first IMSA pole position at Mosport and a breakthrough victory at Road America. His consistency across the endurance races secured second place in the Michelin Endurance Cup standings.
Neil also expanded his international programme during the season, finishing second in the Pro/Am class at the 1000km of Suzuka with Team KRC, further strengthening his global results portfolio. Alongside his IMSA commitments, he remained active across key BMW programmes, including appearances at the Spa 24 Hours and the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
For 2026, Neil continues as a BMW factory driver with a full-season programme in IMSA, returning with Paul Miller Racing in the GTD Pro class. His season began at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, where he and team-mate Dan Harper secured class victory — a result that underlined his strength in endurance racing at the highest level. Building on the momentum of a strong 2025 campaign, Neil heads into the new season with proven pace and consistent results across North America’s premier endurance events.
