HRT ENTERS THE THIRD ROUND OF THE GT WORLD CHALLENGE EUROPE WITH TWO CARS AND A NEW DRIVER LINE-UP

PREVIEW | 1 September, 2020 | Nürburg / Germany

After the six-hour NLS race last weekend, the HAUPT RACING TEAM is facing its next endurance challenge in the Eifel region where the third round of the GT World Challenge Europe will take place on Sunday, 6 September. Just like at the first race of the Endurance Cup in Imola, HRT will enter the competition at the Grand Prix circuit of the Nürburgring with two vehicles. While the driver line-up of the #4 AM Solutions Mercedes-AMG GT3 with extended factory support will remain unchanged with Maro Engel, Luca Stolz and Vincent Abril, there will be a driver change for the car with starting number 5: Joel Camathias will join team owner Hubert Haupt and Sergei Afanasiev in the #5 Mercedes-AMG GT3 for the six-hour race. The Swiss driver, who has already been behind the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the past and has many years of experience in international racing, will be chasing points with his team colleagues in the Silver Cup.
