Mighty AMR powered entries within both GT World Challenge Europe Sprint and Endurance Cup this season
Thursday, February 26, 2026
The Belgian based Comtoyou Racing had already got out their earlier this year with confirmation of their three car Endurance Cup and three car Sprint Cup packages whilst today and yesterday saw further confirmations from both the Walkenhorst Motorsport and Ecurie Ecosse by Blackthorn AMR teams.
The German based Walkenhorst team return for another pair of entries within both series but with differing drier line ups to previous seasons as AMR Drivers Academy and GTWCE Sprint Silver Cup champion Jamie Day joins their all-Pro class driver line up of both Henrique Chaves and Christian Krognes aboard their #34 car.
Their #35 silver class car meanwhile will comprise of a returning Mateo Villagomez alongside team newcomer Ethan Ischer whilst their third man remains unconfirmed at the moment.
The team will also field a two-car entry into the sister Sprint Cup Series as Day and Villagomez partner up again within the #35 car whilst Maxime Robin and Gaspard Simon try their luck togther within the sister #34 car. They also join the three Comtoyou Racing powered entries already announced.
That news was then rounded off earlier today as the Ecurie Ecosse lead Blackthorn AMR team also confirmed their step up to the Endurance Cup Series with a familiar pairing of both Giacomo Petrobelli and Jonny Adam alongside that of Lorcan Hanafin. Their #56 car will compete within the Bronze class alongside that of the #11 Comtoyou entry.
Having had to be satisfied with just one, two or even no AMR powered runners over the past few seasons, someone has again been working their magic to come up with eleven coherent racing packages spread across both series this year.
