Back. to Spa Francorchamps for two Aston Martins in the GT Open 500

 

 

Its back to Spa Francorchamps again this weekend for some as the International GT Open Series arrives at the Belgian for its second round of an eight-round season and the running of its now establish single 500km race.

Within the published thirty-two car entry we again see both the #14 Good Speed Racing team and the #91 Blackthorn AMR teams with their new Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 Evo cars that they will race within their respective Am and Pro-Am classes.

 

Last time out in Portimao, the #97 Blackthorn AMR car featured full season driver Charles Bateman alongside Henrique Chaves. That was primarily due to Jonny Adam being otherwise detained within the World Endurance Championship, but the Scot had completed that obligation again last weekend so he should be good to go this weekend with Bateman.

The Portimao round back in mid-April started with the more traditional two race format where the Polish Good Speed Racing team competed in their first races with their new Aston Martin to earn drivers Piotr Wira and (Tomas Magdziarz who wasn’t actually driving that weekend) a P4 finish in class after the feature race on Saturday before a P3 podium finish in Sunday’s race. The #91 Blackthorn also grabbed P4 in class on Saturday before elevating that to a class win on Sunday.

 

The race starts at 12:25hrs local.
