On the entry-list the team SPS automotive performance shows-up with the well-established driver duo Valentin Pierburg and Tom Onslow-Cole in the Mercedes AMG GT3 for both races on Saturday respectively Sunday.

Being type of short break to relax and regenerate between setting up the team pit and the official part of the race weekend first the team members themselves have been put in the driver’s seat at the mandatory Team-SPS-kart race. Fun and team spirit are the focus here – less the battle for victory … and this is a perfect start into a successful weekend.

The free trainings leave no doubt, the SPS GT3 with starting number 20 is perfectly prepared. The result of the driver’s performance in qualifying for race 1 on Saturday is: P2 – or different: 1st row!

Optimal precondition for an exciting race with very strong competition in the field. And even during the race under pressure both men and machine work perfectly, the drivers Tom and Valentin offer an excellent performance with a sovereign victory in their own class PROAM and an excellent place overall. A perfect race – Chapeau Chapeau!!!

In the second race the # 20 starts from P21 and thanks to the great performance of the team, the drivers and the SPS AMG GT3, they are successfully fighting through the extremely strong field and gain P4 in class. In the overall ranking the team SPS fixes P11 and collects further precious points on the second day of the race.
