Blancpain Endurance Series

After an incredibly successful first season in 2012, the Blancpain Endurance Series has already become a reference in the world of Motorsport.

For 2013, average grids of over 50 GT3 cars will again take part in the three-hour races, with over 60 expected cars for the season highlight of the Spa 24 Hours race.  Built around the legendary 24 Hours of Spa, the Series aims to provide a very serious technical environment but with an application of the sporting rules in line with the wishes of the large majority of teams and drivers.

The other circuits are Monza (Italy), Silverstone (United Kingdom), Le Castellet (France) and Nurburgring (Germany).

With the 3 drivers line-ups, PRO, PRO-AM or Gentlemen, and a 3-steps qualifying system inspired from Formula One, the series aims to give the team and drivers a friendly but professional atmosphere.

The 2013 season has well started for our team, as we have realized the best laptimes during the 2 official test days at le Castellet (12 & 13 March) !

As in 2012, our team will be present this season with 2 McLaren MP4-12C GT3.
