Another podium for PROsport Performance at Spa 24H Series
Saturday, April 20, 2019
There was further success today for the PROsport Performance Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT4 today as the team claimed their second consecutive class podium in the second round of the Creventic 24H Series at the 12Hours of Spa Francorchamps.
Having already attained the first podium for the new 2019 AMR Vantage GT4 last time out in the series at Mugello, the #1 car of Nico Verdonck, Rodrique Gillion, Akhil Rabindra and latest team recruit Michael Munemann secured what was to be a dominant win in the SP3 Class earlier today at the end of the Series no infamous two part endurance race.
Competing in a class of just two cars come the start of the race, Spa is never a done deal in any race and despite the great weather over the Thursday to Saturday race weekend nothing could ever be taken for granted as their only class rival suffered from an untimely fire in the early stages of the race hence the margin of their victory..
The team have now confirmed that the #1 car will contest 'most' of the remaining three rounds of the 24H Series European Championship season - that will be subject to the cars availability from its other GT4 European Series and ADAC GT4 Germany commitments.
It was also interesting to see that the cars second AMR GT4 also tested at the circuit on Thursday with drivers unknown although the GT4 European Series are not due to race at the circuit this year. It may of course have been just to get their drivers more seat time in non adverse weather conditions after a very soggy Monza opener last weekend.
