The BMW M Team RLL achieved its long-awaited on-track victory in a thrilling fashion with a 1-2 finish at the six-hour race at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Philipp Eng and Jesse Krohn in the No. 24 BMW M Hybrid V8 secured the victory, closely followed by Connor De Phillippi and Nick Yelloly in the sister No. 25 car, finishing just 1.647 seconds behind.

The competition was intense throughout the race, leading to various challenges and penalties for other contenders, but the BMW M Team RLL triumphed, solidifying its position in the championship race leading to Petit Le Mans. TDS Racing and AO Racing also showcased commendable performances in their respective classes, highlighting the intense competition and resilience displayed by all teams in the race.
