13-Car GT3 Field Headlines 24H Barcelona Grid

Creventic has released the entry list for this weekend’s Michelin 24H Barcelona, with its European season finale headlined by a 13-car GT3 field comprised of five different manufacturers.

Aston Martin, Audi, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche are all represented, with Proton Huber Competition looking to carry on its winning form from the Michelin 12H Paul Ricard with its No. 73 Porsche 911 GT3 R driven by Joerg Dreisow, Manuel Lauck, Klaus Bachler and Constantin Dressler.

Proton Huber is the only squad representing the Stuttgart marque in the top class field, with defending winners Herberth Motorsport not returning.

Sainteloc Junior Team, which finished runner-up last year, is back as part of four Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo IIs in the field.

Michael Doppelmayr, Elia Erhart, Pierre Kaffer and Ernst Inderbitzin are joined by Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe racer Stephane Tribaudini aboard the No. 18 car.

HAAS RT and Continental Racing by Simpson Motorsport have both added GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS racers to their Audi lineups in the form of Matisse Lismont and Alex Aka, respectively. The Audi pack is completed by JUTA Racing.

Similarly to Audi, Mercedes-AMG is also represented by four cars from GetSpeed Performance, Viper Niza Racing, Hofor Racing and Red Ant Racing.

GetSpeed’s previously announced entry featuring American racers Jon Hirshberg and Patrick Liddy has been further strengthened as Andres Latorre, Yaroslav Veselaho and team principal Adam Osieka have joined the lineup.

The 24H Barcelona field will feature a total of three Ferrari 296 GT3s, entered by series regulars Scuderia Praha, Era Motorsport and Into Africa Racing by Dragon.

The latter’s No. 98 car features an all-African lineup as Axil Jefferies is joined by South African racers Xollie Letlaka, Stuart White and Arnold Neveling.

Era, meanwhile, looks to cap off its debut 24H Series season with Dwight Merriman, Kyle Tilley, Ryan Dalziel, Jake Hill and Oliver Bryant aboard the No. 18 Ferrari.

The GT3 pack is rounded out by the No. 90 E2P Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo, driven by Pablo Burguera, Antonio Sainero, Oliver Campos and Javier Morcillo.

The four-car GT4 field is comprised of a pair of Mercedes-AMG GT4s from Venture and Spanish squad NM Racing, joined by a single Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS for Team Sorg Rennsport and a Ginetta G56 GT4 entered by APO Sport.
