Picariello Replaces Ledogar at Dinamic for Hockenheim

Alessio Picariello has joined Dinamic Motorsport for this weekend’s Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup round at Hockenheim, replacing Come Ledogar.

As shown on the provisional entry list, Picariello has been inserted into the lineup for the No. 54 Porsche 911 GT3 R alongside Klaus Bachler and Matteo Cairoli.

Ledogar raced with the Italian squad as recently as last month’s TotalEnergies 24 Hours of Spa, a race Picariello contested with Herbert Motorsport.

Maro Engel, meanwhile, returns to the No. 2 AMG Team GetSpeed Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo at Hockenheim after contesting Spa with AMG Team GruppeM.

Engel partners Steijn Schothorst and Luca Stolz, coming back to a seat occupied by Maximilian Goetz at Spa.

As previously reported by Sportscar365, JP Motorsport returns to the championship with its two-car McLaren effort after missing Spa.

The Polish squad has only made a single lineup change compared to its last outing at Paul Ricard, with Norbert Siedler now teaming with Maciej Blazek and Patryk Krupinski aboard the No. 112 Gold Cup-entered McLaren 720S GT3.

The Pro crew remains the same, with Christian Klien teaming with Dennis Lind and Vincent Abril.

Dutch driver Thierry Vermeulen will make his GT World Challenge debut aboard Tresor by Car Collection’s No. 11 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II in Silver Cup.

Vermeulen, who is coached by former Formula One driver Jos Verstappen, also competes for Car Collection in ADAC GT Masters, where he secured a maiden podium finish during a home race at Zandvoort.

Ian Loggie makes his series return with SPS Automotive Performance in the No. 20 Mercedes in Pro-Am.

The British GT points leader last raced in the Endurance Cup during the season opener at Imola, where he took a class win.

Gold Cup sees one notable change as Ayhancan Güven remains a part of Allied Racing’s No. 91 Porsche crew for a second consecutive race, staying on after joining the team for the first time at Spa.

Güven partners Alex Malhykin, with the third driver yet to be confirmed.
