The return of Prosport to 24H Series racing
Saturday, February 15, 2020
It has been great to read this week of the return of the German based Prosport team name to the world of GT racing as the Creventic 24H Series confirm their provisional entry list for their first race in Europe of the season in Italy at the end of March.
Former runners of two Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT4's in numerous series across Europe, the last word that we had seen about that team was regarding their probable winding up after a difficult year for them with new AMR Vantage machinery in both GT3 and GT4 classes.
All four cars were/have been up for sale since before the end of last season and previous customers of theirs have been seen racing with other teams.
It is therefore extremely pleasant to see the Prosport team name again mentioned in the Creventic circles as the series confirms an AMR GT4 entry for drivers Rodrique Gillion, Nico Verdonck and new co driver and fellow Belgium national Tom Heeren.
This team and the former two drivers once held the GT4 Championship lead in this Series last year before technical issues with both their Prosport and Team Virage (used after the withdrawal of Prosport from all competitive racing last year) cars ended that possibility with two races to go.
Hopefully, this year will be better for all and we wish them luck!
