featured by Severin Wendeler : Defying stereotypes: meet Samantha Tan and her BMW M4 CS - Photos Felix ALIBERTI c/o SEVERIN WENDELER

Felix ALIBERTI c/o SEVERIN WENDELER photographed Canadian racing sensation and team owner Samantha Tan. Born on August 9, 1997, Samantha Tan is currently competing in the GT World Challenge America with her team Samantha Tan Racing.

Online we read : "BMW M Motorsport Ambassador Samantha Tan’s racing career appeared to be over before it even really began. In 2017, the 19-year-old crashed her BMW M235i Racing into a wall at the Pirelli World Challenge. The crash not only totaled her car, but also her self-confidence. On top of that, comments on social media were relentless. Online, she was confronted with old prejudices that questioned a woman’s place in racing. But the young Canadian, a child of Asian immigrants, was used to defying stereotypes. Rather than surrendering, she resolved to keep pursuing her ultimate ambition—to make a mark in the world of motorsport." bmw-m.com

Samantha is a global ambassador for BMW M Motorsport, and she owns the ST-Racing team together with her father Kenneth Tan.

BMW M is part of an outstanding motorsport history and stands for top performance with passion. And that every day - on the road or on the racetrack. The passion of the engineers makes BMW M a pioneer in the combination of authentic motorsport functionality with exclusive and sporty aesthetics.
