Sean Paul Breslin (Team Principal): “I am very pleased about the expansion of our GT World Challenge programme. Thanks to the strengthening of our partnership with AM Solutions we are even better situated than last year. At this point, I would like to thank them for the trust they have placed in us. As a team, we would like to demonstrate our competence in both disciplines, Sprint and Endurance, once again this season. With the necessary portion of racing luck we can once again fight for the championship in the disciplines and the overall standings and, for the first time, also challenge the overall standings in the Silver Cup. An exciting year with many challenges lies ahead of us, we are well prepared and are looking forward to the start of the season.”
