He’s a bit busy at the moment with his eponymous Turner Motorsport team just finishing up double-podium result at the June 5 - 6 2021 GT Society Challenge America Championship Sports Automobile Shootout at VIRginia International Raceway.

Racing the BMW M6 GT3 in North America’s top sprint and endurance GT championships, Turner Motorsport is ensuring a winning legacy for BMW’s M6 GT3 racing machine – now in its last season of competition.

Michael Dinan and Robby Foley raced the No. 96 Turner Motorsport Liqui-Moly/ Richard Mile BMW M6 GT3 to a second-place finish overall and in the Pro class in the opening round of the weekend to record their best finish of the GT World Challenge America Championship season. In the second round, a miscue on lap 39 stopped the M6 on track for a few seconds, ultimately dropping the BMW to sixth overall and third place in the Pro class at the checkered flag.

The No. 96 Turner Motorsport BMW M6 GT3 of Robby Foley and Michael Dinan will not start today’s Fanatec GT World Challenge America race at Sebring International Raceway after an accident in qualifying.

Dinan lost control of the Pro class contender in the closing stages of the Saturday morning session, sustaining heavy right-front damage.

Sportscar365 understands the team is working to source required parts to be on the grid in Sunday’s 90-minute contest.

Turner’s withdrawal from Race 1 has significant championship implications, with the pole-sitting No. 3 K-PAX Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo of Andrea Caldarelli and Jordan Pepper able to now clinch the title depending on the outcome of Saturday’s race.

Foley and Dinan entered the weekend 63 points behind the Lamborghini duo.

Turner M6 GT3 Finishes Fifth In Shortened Lime Rock IMSA race

Brian Morgan, , Motorsport

Bill Auberlen and Robby Foley in the #96 Turner Motorsport M6 GT3 finished fifth in the GTD class in a weather-shortened IMSA WeatherTech Series race at Lime Rock Park on July 17. The race, scheduled for 2 ¾ hours, was halted after 72 minutes because of lightning in the area. Cars sat on pit road until the checker was thrown when it became apparent that the lightning would not clear the area in time for a restart.

The #96 car had started seventh and had moved up to fifth when the race was stopped. GTD winners Ross Gunn and Roman DeAngelis in the #23 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 took over the points lead, demoting Foley and Auberlen to second.

The abrupt end to the race capped a difficult day for the Turner team. Earlier in the day, Foley and Vin Barletta in the #96 Turner M4 GT4 had finished eighth in the Grand Sport class in the two-hour Michelin Pilot Challenge race, while their teammates Bill Auberlen and Dillon Machavern in car #95 finished sixteenth after falling back with a late-race mechanical problem.
