Blancpain Endurance Series
This 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...
