HAUPT RACING TEAM TO FIGHT FOR THE TITLE IN THE GT WORLD CHALLENGE EUROPE SPRINT CUP IN BARCELONA

PREVIEW | 7 October, 2020 | Montmeló, Barcelona / Spain

The finale of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup will be taking place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya this weekend with HAUPT RACING TEAM ranking in a promising championship position: Maro Engel and Luca Stolz are only 6.5 points shy of the leaders in the drivers' sprint classification despite having missed the races at the Circuit Zandvoort. With three races to go in Barcelona, the duo driving the #4 Mercedes-AMG GT3 with extended works support still has excellent chances of crowning the HRT debut season with the sprint title in the renowned SRO series. Engel / Stolz will once again be chasing points under the entry Mercedes-AMG Team HRT: with a good result, the duo could also collect valuable points in the teams' sprint championship where HRT currently ranks fourth overall.
