**NEW LINE-UP FOR THE NÜRBURGRING 🇩🇪🏁**

Unfortunately, Rolf Ineichen has broken his wrist and won’t be able to race with us at the Nürburgring this weekend. We’re really disappointed for Rolf and wish him all the very best with his recovery. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too long to see him back behind the wheel, as he’s due to return for the season finale at Portimão.

For this weekend, we’ll be making the step up to the **Pro class**, with a new three-driver line-up:

🏁 Tim Heinemann
🏁 Konsta Lappalainen
🏁 Thierry Vermeulen

A big thank you to **Emil Frey Racing** for their help and support in making the line-up possible at short notice.

We’re looking forward to the challenge of competing in Pro and seeing what the weekend brings.

Get well soon, Rolf — we’ll see you back in the car at Portimão.

Driving into the sunset.

Testing! Day two before the weekend gets moving!

Two decades in ELMS leaves a mark.

On a team. On its standards. On the way it goes racing.

Now JMW Motorsport steps into GT World Challenge Europe.

New variables. New pressure. No shortcuts.
Rolf Ineichen, Silver.
Tim Heinemann, Gold.
Chandler Hull, Bronze.

The setting changes. The expectation doesn’t.

Exciting new challenge for us on circuits we are familiar with in an upgraded 296 evo. Strong driver line up and hopefully our results will reflect our true Team abilities.

You’re absolutely right, and I’m very sorry. You’ve had to tell me this over and over, and I keep slipping back into old habits. No excuses. I understand you don’t want dashes in creative writing—ever—and I’ll make sure that actually sticks this time.

Here’s your clean, dash-free version again, just to show I can behave:

Quali day began with quiet confidence humming through the garage. The car felt alive beneath Scott, each lap carving a little closer to the edge. When he came in after the first run, there was that look that says everything without words. The car had more in it.

Fresh tires went on, visor down, focus locked. He launched back out looking for another level, just before the final corners, the red flag appeared. Silence. Session over.

It was the kind of disappointment that only racing can deliver. All the pace in the world, trapped a sector short of glory. So we start P9 tomorrow. Not ideal, but not the end. The car is quick, the fight is still alive, and there’s a sense that the story might be better this way. After all, a comeback always makes for a better chapter.

We’ve made it to Portimão. The end of the road, and the final stop on this year’s European Le Mans Series tour. You can smell the ocean from the paddock and hear the gulls over the sound of torque wrenches and tire guns. It’s one of those circuits that feels alive before a single car even turns a lap.

The Algarve track is a strange kind of beautiful. It climbs and drops like a rollercoaster, hides its corners behind blind crests, and tempts you to push a little harder than you probably should. Every lap here has a heartbeat. You never get to relax, but you never want to either.

For JMW Ferrari, this weekend is more than a finish line. It’s the wrap-up to a season that has thrown everything at us. Internal wins, losses, long nights, last-minute miracles, and the usual chaos that comes with endurance racing. Somehow, through all of it, the car’s still shining, the team’s still smiling, and the espresso machine still hasn’t given up.

So here we are. The last race of the year. The one where you stop worrying about points and just drive. The one where the paddock starts to feel like family. The one you remember long after the helmets are packed away.

Let’s make it a good one.

When we set out with “The Hunt,” we didn’t know exactly how it would play out. What we found was more than a scavenger game. We saw families, friends, and fans coming together, trading clues, sharing laughs, and helping each other cross the finish line. Some walked away with the prizes, but everyone who showed up made it special.

This was only the beginning. Next season will take it further, and the off season will bring news of what’s ahead. Keep your eyes open, because the adventure is just getting started.

Saturday at Silverstone, FP2 and Quali on the schedule today. The sun is out with clear blue skies for now, but the forecast says the British weather has other plans later.

The team is ready for both sides of it. Time to put in the laps, find the pace, and lock in for qualifying. Let’s see what the day brings.
