Walker returns to Turner Motorsport for full 2027 IMSA season

Jake Walker will return to Turner Motorsport for the full 2027 season, replacing Patrick Gallagher in the team's No. 96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO alongside Robby Foley. Walker made his WeatherTech Championship debut with Turner in 2024, finishing second in class at the Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and also contested the Michelin Endurance Cup races last year.

Walker spent this season with Gradient Racing in a Ford Mustang GT3 EVO, his first full-time campaign in the series. The 20-year-old will race for Turner in its 30th season of competition and tenth in the WeatherTech Championship, having raced exclusively BMWs during that period.

The team is currently seeking a funded FIA Silver-rated driver for the Endurance Cup races.
