Two Mirage Racing AMR Vantage GT4s looking to continue from where the left off in FFSA GT4

 

Supporting the start of Speedweek alongside the British GT Championship from Spa Francorchamps this weekend will be the French based FFSA GT4 Series and their modest twenty car entry for their third round of the season.

Since scaling back from including a silver graded class within their otherwise Pro-Am and Am classes at the end of last season, entry numbers have obviously fallen slightly as the faster grade of driver was forced to look elsewhere in Europe.

As per the previous two rounds this year from Nogaro and Dijon-Prenois, we again welcome back the two Mirage Racing Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 Evo’s of both Stanislav Safronov and Aleksandr Vaintrub within their #7 Pro-Am entry as well as the #5 Am class entry of David Levy and Jodie Sloss.

Last time at Dijon-Prenois back in early May, it was a return to podium winning form for the two Mirage entries as the #7 crew scored an overall race win in the first hour long race before finishing fourth overall next time around whilst the #5 crew scored both a P2 and P3 in class respectively across the two races.

These results lift the #7 crew up to second in class within Pro-Am (twelve points off the leading pair) whilst the #5 move up to fourth albeit with only half the points of the so far dominant #63 Alpine pairing.

Track action for this series will begin on Friday with their first Free Practice and Pre-Qualifying session before moving onto Qualifying and the first race on Saturday with the concluding race then on Sunday afternoon after the three-hour British GT affair.

Although not this time driving an Aston Martin, look out for Clement Mateu from the Racing Spirit of Leman European Le Mans AMR Vantage LMGT3 team who will also be competing at Spa within this series - albeit in a Ginetta!!
