Random Vandals Racing to Return with BMW M4 GT3 Evo in 2025 GT World Challenge America Pro Class

Connor De Phillippi and Kenton Koch to Drive for RVR Full-Time in 2025 Season

Concord, NC – Following an impressive 2024 GT3 debut season, which included a landmark 2nd-place podium finish at Barber Motorsports Park, Random Vandals Racing (RVR) is thrilled to announce that it will return to GT World Challenge America powered by AWS in 2025 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 RVR’s lineup for the marquee event.

In its debut GT3 season, RVR showed immediate competitiveness, highlighted by the #99 Vbrick Systems BMW M4 GT3 achieving a podium at Barber Motorsports Park with drivers Conor Daly and Kenton 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 for the 2025 season. The duo brings a potent combination of experience and skill, further strengthening RVR’s position as a serious contender in GT3 racing.

“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. I’m 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, I’m 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 don’t come around often, and I’m 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 they’ve 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. I’m excited to use what we learned together to go collect some more trophies in 2025!”

As Random Vandals Racing aims for its most competitive season yet, the 2025 GT World Challenge America powered by AWS season will mark a new era for the team as it moves into the Pro Class full-time, bolstered by De Phillippi, Koch, and Daly. With lessons learned and a podium finish already under its belt, RVR is positioned to make a powerful impact on the GT3 grid.
