Academy - Pick of the GT4 European Series pit crews

Congratulations go to Matt Nichol-Jones' Academy Motorsport team tonight after having been confirmed as the winners of the inaugural Pit Stop Challenge that the SRO governing body introduced to their GT4 European Series this year.

Used this year as a 'financial incentive' for the crews to get a close as possible to the cars minimum pit stop times, Academy accrued 94 points of the six round season as they serviced their two Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT4's of Matt Cowley/Will Moore and Tom Wood/Fiona James for which the team will now receive a prize fund of €3000.00.

This award is in addition to the €1500.00 already received by the team for being the closest overall at their home round at Brands Hatch earlier this year.

To compliment the achievement above was that German based Prosport Performance (another AMR Vantage GT4 runner in the Series) finished second overall (just 20 points behind) after their 'difficult' end to their inaugural year with the new AMR.
