R-Motorsport will enter the full Blancpain GT Series this year, having committed a pair of new-gen Aston Martin Vantage GT3s to both the sprint and Endurance series.

The Swiss team, which will run its program in addition to its new DTM venture, has also added a third car for the Total 24 Hours of Spa.

It debuted in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup last season, running a pair of previous-gen Aston Martins, and won the Silverstone race in May.

Maxime Martin, Jake Dennis, Marvin Kirchhoefer and Matthieu Vaxiviere all return to the team, while Aston Martin factory driver Alex Lynn is amongst the new drivers.

Ricky Collard, Matt Parry, Ferdinand Habsburg, Hugo de Sadeleer and Aaro Vainio complete the lineup.

Lynn will join Dennis and Kirchhoefer in one car for the Endurance Cup, while Martin, Vaxiviere and Parry will share the second car, both running in the Pro class.

Kirchhoefer is paired with Collard in a Pro entry for the Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe sprint rounds, while de Sadeleer and Vainio will share a Silver Cup entry.

Both full-season Endurance Cup trios will be present at Spa, but they’ll be joined by a third car for Collard, de Sadeleer and new R-Motorsport DTM signing Habsburg.
