GT4 Winter Series out again in Valencia this weekend
Wednesday, February 12, 2025
Having already competed at Estoril in mid-January and most recently from Portimao at the end of January, a GT4 grid of seventeen cars are expected across its available Pro, Pro-Am, Am, Club and Cayman Trophy classes.
The #39 Racing Spirit of Leman Vantage GT4 Evo entry of Baudouin Detout and Max Hewitt again take the lead role as far as we are concerned with the other entry being a Club class entry for the more venerable #700 Mucke Motorsport car of Thilo Goos.
Whilst the #700 car entertained itself as part of just a two-car entry over the three races last time out at Portimao, it was a more challenging situation for the #39 crew having suffered turbo related issues aboard their usual chassis that forced then to take refuge within their spare car with there being no Prodrive support at the event.

Making the most of that situation as well as the challenges the Iberian weather again threw at the series, the best that the #39 crew could muster were a P6 and P4 position in class at the end of the earlier solo sprint races and P5 at the end of the latter pit stop endurance round.
With the young American Hewitt looking to join in the excitement within the GT America Series back home and the former Luxembourger moto-cross rider (presumably) looking to get back into the GT4 European Series again this season, the races offered by the GT4 Winter will be invaluable for them considering the short period between now and the start of these respective series.
