Saintéloc Racing has been a front runner in the GT4 European Series, winning the 2021 Pro-Am and the 2022 Silver crowns. Sébastien Chetail's squad will start the new season in Monza next month with the clear ambition of playing at the front once more.
In addition to the Grégory Guilvert - Christophe Hamon duo, already announced in the GT4 European Series in Pro-Am with the #42 Audi, Saintéloc Racing will have the pleasure of welcoming back Cyril Saleilles for a full program. Cyril, who raced for Saintéloc Racing between 2020 and 2021, was already back with the team last last October when he competed in the FFSA GT season finale. For this 2023 campaign, he will be joined by another team regular, Anthony Beltoise, two-time FFSA GT champion. The duo will be driving the #14 Audi and will be aiming for good results by bringing all their experience to bear.
On the third car lined up on the European stage, Frenchman Paul Petit, whose experience and speed are no longer in question after successful years in proto (runner-up in the 2016 ELMS LM P3 championship and third in LM P2 in 2018) and in GT (several victories and podiums in FFSA GT), will be joined by the young Spaniard Marc Lopez. Having already competed in the series last year in an Audi, Marc will aim to progress this season, within the reigning champion team and alongside a recognized and very experienced teammate. Saintéloc Racing is therefore continuing its commitment to the development of young drivers with a crew to follow on the #67 R8 LMS GT4.
Aurélie Kirmann (Team Manager GT4): “Saintéloc Racing is delighted to be back in the GT4 European Series, in an increasingly competitive field. The entry list shows that the competition will be tough. This makes this new season even more exciting, but we have the crews to perform well. We have some of our regulars back, while others are making their return and we are also looking forward to work with our new recruits. It's going to be an exciting season, we're very motivated and we're looking forward to Monza.”
Marc López: “I am very happy to announce that this year I will be competing in the GT4 European Series with Saintéloc Racing. I have only one objective, to win the championship with my teammate!”
