Austrian Philipp Eng started his career in karting and got his first taste in open wheel racing in the Formula BMW Championship in 2006. One year later, in 2007, he celebrated his first international success winning the Formula BMW World Final.
In 2016, Philipp joined BMW M as a works driver co-driving a BMW M6 GT3 to Spa 24 Hours victory in that year. After a 2017 season mainly racing in the ADAC GT Masters, Philipp was also part of the BMW DTM programme from 2018 to 2020, being “Rookie of the Year” in 2018 and celebrating an emotional win at Zolder in 2019.
Parallel to his DTM commitment, Philipp always also raced BMW GT racing cars. In 2018, he repeated victory in the Spa 24 Hours with the BMW M6 GT3. He also competed successfully in the BMW M8 GTE with BMW M Team RLL in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, winning the Rolex24 at Daytona in 2019, as well as in the BMW works program in the FIA World Endurance Championship. In 2023, Philipp was victorious again at the Spa 24 Hours, this time with the BMW M4 GT3, making him a three-time winner at the endurance classic.
