De Haan, 27 and a double British GT vice-champion, has a couple of GT Open outings to his credit, including a race win at the Red Bull Ring in 2021. Fagg (23) is a McLaren development driver and won the Silver Cup in the European GT4 in 2021. He raced in the FIA WEC in 2022 for D’Station racing
Previewing the new season, Sam De Haan explained: “I am really excited to confirm the first plans for the new 2023 season and to be joining Optimum Motorsport. It will be great to push myself with a new challenge in a full season of International GT Open, and I am really looking forward to driving the 720S GT3. Optimum has proven they know what it takes to win races and championships with the McLaren, and it is great to be partnering with Charlie who has really helped me get to grips with the car already. The calendar visits some of the best circuits, and we will be pushing for strong results straight out of the box, so let’s see what we can do!”
