Team Zakspeed has announced its Blancpain Endurance Series plans. The team will enter with the brand-new Mercedes AMG GT3 with three Canadian drivers: Alex Tagliani, Jean-Frederic Laberge and Darryl O´Young behind the wheel.
After one year´s pause since its last outing at the Sprint race in Baku 2014, Peter Zakowski’s team will enter the highly competitive PRO class in the championship. The first roll-out with the new Mercedes AMG GT3 took place at the official test days at the French circuit of Paul Ricard today.
The 42-year-old Alex Tagliani, who competed in Champ Cars since 2000 and raced most recently in the SportsCar Championship, will be the routinier amongst his colleagues. He is joined by Jean-Frederic Laberge, who has raced professionally since 2010 and made a name for himself when winning the Trois -Rivières Grand Prix in 2013. Darryl O´Young, the reigning champion of the Asia GT Championship, completes the driver lineup.
