From press release
The new-look FIA GT Series kicks off this weekend in Nogaro, France, featuring a field of quality and diverse entries, with 26 of the best and most spectacular GT cars in the world.
A recognizable core of illustrious former GT1 World and GT3 European Championship teams has committed to the new-look FIA GT Series this season, laying solid foundations of growth for the future.
Amongst the teams to watch this weekend is last season’s FIA GT World and European Championships, the newly-named HTP Gravity Charouz team (formerly HEICO), which enters three Mercedes SLS AMG GT3s.
Another title-winning team from last season is Belgian Audi Club Team WRT, which enters two Pro Cup Audi R8 LMS ultras.
Other entries of great interest include the leading Ferrari team and FIA GT Championships’ regular AF Corse and their Ferrari 458 Italias, and Dörr Motorsport which enters a pair of McLaren MP4-12Cs, and Phoenix Racing with a pair of Audi R8 LMS.
Not to forget Sebastien Loeb Racing – the team of the nine-time World Rally champion and motorsport legend, fielding two McLaren MP4-12C cars. Now embarking upon his first full season in circuit racing and one of the most familiar faces in world motorsport, Loeb will pair up with talented McLaren factory driver, Alvaro Parente.
The French team also fields a second McLaren for the experienced GT duo of local hero Mike Parisy from Pau and Andreas Zuber.
