Turner Motorsport is set to reach another milestone as the team prepares for their 300th professional race with the legendary BMW brand next weekend at the "world class" Circuit of the Americas. The six-time Championship winning race team and leading BMW tuner in North America will start their 299th and 300th professional races in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship Lone Star Grand Prix, second in the world only to Schnitzer Motorsport.
The accomplishment comes 16 years after Will Turner (team owner) entered his E36 328i touring car in the team's first-ever professional race in Topeka, Kansas. Since 1998, Turner has remained faithful to the BMW brand, racing behind the coveted blue and white roundel exclusively for the much of the last two decades. Over that time Turner's iconic blue and yellow BMWs have recorded 75 race wins, 235 top-five finishes and six championships in the last 298 races.
"Saturday will certainly be a great day for Turner Motorsport," said Will Turner. "300 races with BMW is something I am extremely proud of and I hope it will be an important one towards another championship."
As part of our celebration here is a brief look into the past via BMW racecars of course!

Thanks for building and racing such fantastic cars and for hiring such talented drivers. Oh, and for being active with club racing and supporting the BMW CCA. Hope to keep cheering on Turner cars for the next 300 races! Oh, and I'll gladly keep sending you my money while you do it. =)
