Tari Bringing Home Repair Network Limited and PSA Systems to AGMC Racing by Simpson Motorsport BMW M4 GT4
DUBAI (January 8, 2024) – Following a 2024 season that included eight podiums in eight races in World Racing League (WRL) endurance races in the United States, Tiger Tari is starting the new year on a bigger stage in the middle east.
Tari is one of four drivers in the No. 438 ACMC Racing by Simpson BMW M4 GT4 who will race together in this weekend’s Michelin 24 Hours of Dubai, January 10 – 12 on the Dubai Autodrome.
Tari, a first-generation American proud to carry the stars and stripes around the world, is one of just 17 Americans on the extensive entry list for the race. Currently, 63 cars piloted by 267 drivers are entered in the twice-around-the-clock classic.
Previously, Tari and his Star Spangled Racing program competed in IMSA’s Lamborghini Super Trofeo championship.
“I had a great 2024, but it was intentionally under the radar compared to 2023 in the IMSA series,” Tari said. “I focused on improving my driving and my racing and it paid off. Starting 2025 in Dubai is the next step in that, competing in my first true professional 24 hour race on a big stage and am thrilled to bring Home Repair Network Limited and PSA Systems along with us on this BMW M4 GT4.”
Tari, classified as an AM driver for the race, will team with fellow AMs Timothy Docker (Great Britain) and William Tewiah (Ghana), along with semi-pro drivers Tudor Tudurachi (Romania) and Ramez Azzam (Canada) in a truly international line-up.
The BMW M4 GT4 is the same make and model of race car that Tari will use for American races during the 2025 season.
“The BMW M4 GT4 is one of the most fun race cars I’ve every driven,” Tari said. “I’m above average height, so the car really and truly fits me safely, unlike many of the GT3 and GT4 platforms that I’ve driven in the past. We can run this BMW M4 GT4 in so many places, so our future plans for Star Spangled Racing are still to be decided, but we’re going to get a great feel for this car over 24 hours and think we can be competitive.”
Joining Tari is Dubai is longtime partner PSA Systems, providing services to over 1,500 restoration contractors with Proven Software Applications for medium to large sized businesses. Home Repair Network Limited remains a part of his program as well as he travels internationally. HRNL provides impartial & accurate property claims validation, settlement and building repair services to many of the UK’s leading Insurance Co’s, Brokers and Loss Adjusters.
