Blancpain Endurance Series

Blancpain Endurance SeriesThis all new series in 2011 of International GT racing is approved by the FIA, with the support of the prestigious Swiss watch manufacturer. It includes three-hour races, with all the excitement of pit stops, driver changes, multiple classes and non-stop overtaking.

Reserved for GT3 and GT4 cars, which have already made their mark in long-distance races, without having a specific arena to test their skills, the new series will be centred around GT racing’s showcase event, the Total 24 Hours of Spa.

With the three-driver line-up so popular with teams and gentlemen drivers, no driver classification in the top class, and a three-step qualifying system inspired from Formula One, the new series aims to give teams drivers everything they want in a friendly yet professional atmosphere. With live TV production and the excitement guaranteed from large grids in long races on beautiful circuits, the public and media should also be spoiled !

We plan to run two Scuderia Vittoria 458 Italia's in the 2012 series. With factory opposition in this fantastic series, it is a true test for engineer and driver. After an encouraging initial season in Europe, we hope our first victories are in early 2012...
