Going in to this year’s Michelin 12H PAUL RICARD, across the weekend 5/6/7 June, the outright GT3 battle is incredibly close with three Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO squads locked together on 42 points at the top of the championship table. 

Both of the entries fielded by GetSpeed are part of that leading group and for race three of the campaign the GetSpeed Team PCX Racing car, which also tops GT3 PRO-AM, will feature Patrick Charlaix, Jordan Boisson, Benjamin Paque and Maro Engel. The GetSpeed Team JR286 car will be shared by Spa podium finishers Steve Jans, Tanner Harvey, Patrick Liddy and Adam Osieka.

Ajith RedAnt Racing has also delivered strong consistency across the first two rounds to be sharing the lead of the GT3 and GT3 PRO-AM standings, and the team’s familiar line-up of Tamil actor Ajith Kumar, Kobe de Breucker, and brothers Ayrton and Yannick Redant will pilot the No.93 Mercedes.

Three other entries from the Stuttgart marque are also confirmed for next weekend’s action, with joint GT3-AM class points leaders HOFOR Racing featuring Alexander Prinz, Michael Kroll, Torsten Kratz and Maximilian Partl.
