Both Mirage Racing AMRs chasing continued class success as FFSA GT4 visits Magny-Cours

 


Supporting the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup Series from Magny-Cours this weekend will be the small but perfectly formed grid of the French based FFSA GT4 Series and their expected fourteen strong Am and Pro-Am runners.

Racing what will be their fourth round of a six-round season, both Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 Evo entries from the French based Mirage Racing team will again be in action as Pro-Am runners Stanislav Safronov and Aleksandr Vaintrub go again within their #7 car whilst Am class runners David Levy and Jodie Sloss do likewise within their #5 car.


An upturn in results from the #5 crew now sees the Am pairing kicking themselves after their non points finish in the second race of the opening round from Nogaro as they now feature just thirty-one points behind the class leaders after their recent string of podium finishes at both Dijon-Prenois and most lately from Spa Francorchamps over a month ago.

The team’s Pro-Am pairing meanwhile, have continued through from the second race of round one with an impressive string of podium or race winning finishes to so far lead their Pro-Am class by fourteen points going into this round at the former home of the French F1 Grand Prix.


Friday starts the track action with both Free Practice and Pre-Qualifying ahead of individual qualifying sessions and race one on Saturday before concluding on Sunday with its second one-hour race of the meeting.

Mirage Racing scoop three podium finishes at second round of FFSA GT4

Mirage Racing scoop three podium finishes at second round of FFSA GT4

 


It proved itself to be a good weekend for the solo Aston Martin Racing powered team competing within the second round of the FFSA GT4 Series from Dijon-Prenois.

This time competing under clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine, both the French based Mirage Racing team’s two Vantage GT4 crews went onto secure further class success with a double class podium visit for their #5 Am class entry of FFSA Academy entrants David Levy and Jodie Sloss at the end of the weekend’s two, hour long races.


The team’s #7 Pro-Am entry of Stanislav Safronov and Aleksandr Vaintrub went some better than first time out at Nogaro a few weeks ago as they secured an overall win after race 1 followed up with a P4 finish to round off a great weekend for the team.


The next round of the season will take them to Spa Francorchamps in about five weeks’ time when the series will support the annual Spa Week, ahead of the 24 Hours of Spa.

Mirage Racing return to the FFSA GT4 with their pair of AMR Vantage GT4 Evos at Dijon-Prenois

Mirage Racing return to the FFSA GT4 with their pair of AMR Vantage GT4 Evos at Dijon-Prenois

 


No surprises with the Aston Martin Racing powered entries for the second round of the French FFSA GT4 Series this weekend with two Mirage Racing Vantage GT4 Evo entries confirmed for Dijon-Prenois.

It was a similar case for the opening round of the season from Nogaro that saw the previous announced Pro-Am #7 entry of Stanislav Safronov and Alexandr Vaintrub return for another attempt at their class alongside the later announced #5 Am pairing of David Levy and Jodie Sloss.


This weekend’s entry list also possibly sees a one car increase in grid numbers (possibly now up to sixteen cars) for a series now split between just the Pro-Am and Am classes.

Last time out saw the grid take to the track in lovely spring conditions during testing but qualifying and race one were completed in horrendous track conditions as the heavens opened for most of the day. Despite that, both Mirage Racing cars finished P12 overall and P4 in class for the #5 car and P6 overall and in class in race one for the #7 before improving to a P3 overall and in class at the end of race two.


Having already been part of the Aston Martin Racing Drivers Academy last season (may still be on their books for this year but that hasn’t yet been confirmed either way by AMR) sees the young Scot Sloss part of the FFSA Drivers Academy process as she now takes to a confirmed full season entry in the series with Mirage and Levy.
