Random Vandals Racing Set For Full World Challenge Campaign
Written by I Dig Sports
CONCORD, N.C. Following an impressive 2024 GT3 debut season, which included a landmark second-place finish at Barber Motorsports Park, Random Vandals Racing will return to GT World Challenge America powered by AWS with a full-season Pro class entry.
BMW M Motorsport driver Connor De Phillippi, alongside RVR driver, Kenton Koch, will lead the charge, piloting the Vbrick Systems BMW M4 GT3 Evo as the team sets its sights on a championship run.
Additionally, Conor Daly will rejoin the team as the third driver for the prestigious Indianapolis 8-Hour race, bringing his wealth of experience and proven track record in endurance racing to RVRs lineup for the marquee event.
In its debut GT3 season, RVR showed immediate competitiveness, highlighted by the No. 99 Vbrick Systems BMW M4 GT3 achieving a podium at Barber Motorsports Park with Daly and Koch. Building on this momentum, RVR will elevate its commitment to the series with the full-time Pro Class lineup of De Phillippi and Koch
This is the next step in Random Vandals evolution as sportscar team, said Paul Sparta, Team Principal of Random Vandals. The Kenton, Connor, Conor lineup was very successful in our partial season last year. Their collective experience, technical acumen, and vibe is a fantastic combination and should produce great results in 2025.
The growth of the Random Vandals Racing program has been a pleasure to watch, said Adam McGregor, BMW NA Motorsport and Customer Racing Manager. The team and their steady expansion is the epitome of success with a BMW Customer Racing program. Im eager to cheer on Paul and the rest of the Vandals in their sophomore season with the BMW M4 GT3.
Last year was an awesome introduction to GT3 racing for RVR, said Kenton Koch. It was amazing to be part of such a talented group, especially given how quickly everything came
together. Now with experience under our belt and the off-season to prepare, Im excited for what this next season will have in store! Beyond pumped to partner with Connor De Phillippi for the full season and have Conor Daly join us for the Indy 8 Hour. Opportunities to co-drive with drivers of this caliber dont come around often, and Im grateful to be a part of such a strong program.
Joining the RVR family for the full season is the perfect continuation of what we started last year, said Connor De Phillippi. Their commitment to performance has been on full display over the offseason as theyve built out the team structure for 2025. With our knockout driver combo alongside Kenton for the full season and adding Conor Daly for the Indy 8H, I believe we have the pieces we need to have a successful racing program. Truly excited to get to work..
I want to thank Paul and the rest of the Random Vandals Racing team for giving me the chance to get behind the wheel again, said Conor Daly. It felt great to get right in and be competitive last year in a really strong field of cars. Im excited to use what we learned together to go collect some more trophies in 2025.
