Seven AMRs due at this weekends GT World Challenge Sprint and FFSA GT4 visit to Magny Cours

The #007 Pro car of Mattia Drudi and Nicolas Baert leads the bunch with James Jakes and Sebastian Ogaard returning in the 311 Gold entry alongside the #12 Silver entry for drivers Lorens Lecertua and Dante Rappange. Matisse Lismont is again paired up alongside AMR factory driver David Pittard within the teams #21 Gold entry like they were at Hockenheim.

For the team though, that event was nothing short of a disaster as a fifth place in class was the best that anyone could muster within the opening race despite their cars newfound pace after a BoP adjustment, before three of the four cars were all out of contention in quick succession to one another during the second. The #007 car delivered its best result of the season so far, however, with a P5 finish.

With just five points to their names from the opening three rounds, the #007 hopes are already sadly at an end whereas in Gold, Lismont clings on to a fourth place overall (albeit it at half the points of the leaders with Jakes a further 7.5 points back to him.

With this weekend and the season finale from Barcelona in mid-October still to come, significant points from this round will be a most for all – even if that was to be in the name of pride only!!

These four cars will again be part of a thirty-three-car grid racing two one-hour races over both Saturday and Sunday.

This grid will then be joined (not literally of course) with that of the FFSA GT4 Series for what will be their fourth round of six from the former home of the French Grand Prix and this is where the slight adjustments are to be found.

Full season entries of the #7 Mirage Car Pro-Am AMR Vantage GT4 of Stanislav Safronov and Aleksandr Vaintrub and the #74 Silver entry of Victor Weyrich and Mateo Villagomez both return but the #92 Am entry of Clement Dub and Ronald Basso will not be in attendance as confirmed by the team several days ago.

On the flip side of that, the Street Art Racing team will also be in action with the series this weekend as former GT4 European Champion Pascal Bachmann pairs up with team backer Jahid Fazal Karim within one of their older iteration Vantage GT4’s

Championship wise, Villagomez and Weyrich still lead the silver class thanks to them maintaining their podium winning streak last time out at Spa whilst in Am, their teammates non-appearance will effectively end any possibilities that might have existed for them within that class.
