Rinaldi Racing will compete with two Ferrari 488 GT3s in this year’s GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS, including with a full-season Silver Cup entry.

Rinat Salikhov and David Perel will compete at all ten events in the Silver Cup and will be joined by former Barwell Motorsport regular Patrick Kujala for the Endurance races.

That car will carry a new livery with a switch from a green to red color scheme, meanwhile, and in the Silver Cup despite Salikhov remaining a Bronze-designated driver.

Salikhov and Perel finished runners-up in last year’s Sprint Pro-Am championship.

Rinaldi’s second car will be entered in the Pro-Am Cup only for the Endurance races, with Pierre Ehret returning for a fifth consecutive season with the German team.

He’ll be joined by Rino Mastronardi, who returns after a two-year absence, and Daniel Keilwitz.

Keilwitz, Salikhov and Perel won the Pro-Am class at the Total 24 Hours of Spa in 2018 alongside Alexander Mattschull.
