Reduced AMR numbers in both WRL and GT4 Winter Series this weekend (Updated)

Unlike the previous round Eagles Canyon two weeks ago, only the #68 Team Speed Syndicate AMR Vantage GT4 will be taking part as for as the local AMR powered contingent are concerned. Having taken two overall P3 podiums last time out and the absence of the 89X Motorsport team, hopes of higher finishes will be there.

Out of interest, the 89X Motorsport team were out racing last weekend with the TransAm Series where their #89 Vantage GT4 of Mike Fitzpatrick finished second in class at the Sebring opener.

Then back upon the European side we have the halfway point of the GT4 Winter Series from Motorland Aragon in southern Spain.

Unlike the previous round at Valencia, there will be no AMR Vantage GT3’s from the Comtoyou Racing team for reasons unknown. Originally sporting the series to help two of their younger GT3 crews, a potential destroyed chassis and another damaged during the three GT Winter Series may have put paid to their return or Valencia might have been a one-off entry.

On the plus side however, we do still have the two AMR Vantage GT4’s from the Mucke Motorsport and Racing Spirit of Lemans teams with their constant Club and Pro-Am classed drivers.

Thilo Goos presently leads the Club class with his orange coloured #700 car whilst Baudouin Detout and Max Hewitt stand P6 in class after a disastrous visit to Valencia that saw the American get spun out of a podium winning position in race 1 before the Luxembourger suffered race ending contact within both race 2 and the longer race 3 on Sunday.

There is however better news ahead of the next round of the series in Barcelona as we expect an AMR Vantage GT4 from the German Prosport Racing team for two of their new recruits as Anton Abee and Roman Fellner-Feldegg sample GT4 racing for the first time.
