Although our three drivers do not yet have any real GT3 experience in competitive racing, they have already gained experience in a wide variety of motorsport disciplines and have been able to demonstrate their speed there. At Le Castellet, we proved that we can keep up with the pace of the front-runners in our class. Our aim is to drive a solid, error-free race and pick up some points,” said Christoph Huber, GT3 team manager at razoon – more than racing.
