BMW Team RLL has substituted a driver in the line-up for this weekend’s Rolex 24 At Daytona. BMW works driver Augusto Farfus will take the place of Tom Blomqvist who has experienced delays with his visa application.
Farfus will share the #25 BMW M8 GTE with Connor De Phillippi, Philipp Eng and Colton Herta. Farfus has raced with BMW Team RLL four times previously at Daytona - in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 with a best finish of second in 2015. Blomqvist is expected to re-join the #25 car roster for Sebring and the rest of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season. “I’m very disappointed that I am unable to race at Daytona,” said Blomqvist. “I will be back home with my fingers crossed for the whole team and looking forward to returning at Sebring.” Farfus: “I love the Rolex 24 At Daytona. I know the team, the car and the circuit very well and am ready for this challenge.”
