Rutronik Racing will start the first Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS weekend with two cars. The Endurance Cup takes place at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France and impresses with a strong line-up of 55 cars.
The team is relying on Porsche contract drivers Patric Niederhauser and Sven Müller as well as veteran Julien Andlauer for the top-class driver constellation of its Pro car. Starting number #96 is therefore in the field of 20 contenders for overall victory.
The Porsche 911 GT3 R with the #97 is maneuvered by Dustin Blattner, Dennis Marschall and Loek Hartog. The trio will contest the Bronze Cup, in which 20 cars are also competing.
Nine manufacturers are battling for victory in the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup. The three-hour race is the first of five on the calendar of endurance events in the most competitive international GT3 series.
After strong results last year, Rutronik Racing is aiming for podium finishes and a fight for class victories this season.
After intensive weeks of preparation, we are very much looking forward to the first race of the Fanatec GT World Challenge powered by AWS Endurance Series. The use of two cars is certainly a challenge for us, which we have worked towards and prepared for in the best possible way. The drivers felt very comfortable in the Porsche 911 GT3 R. This is an important indication that we are very well positioned for the weekend in Paul Ricard.
