PROsport preparing for GT4 European Series return in anniversary season

PROsport Racing is planning to return for the full GT4 European Series Powered by RAFA Racing Club season with a two-car team, with drivers set to be announced soon.

The German team only made a single guest appearance in the championship last year – at the opening round in Monza running an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 for Andreas and Jessica Backman. Prior to that the team was a star of the 2022 championship, running Mike David Ortmann and Hugo Sasse to three overall race wins and third in the Silver Cup points, while PROsport secured third in the Teams’ Championship. 

PROsport celebrates its 20th anniversary this season, with team founder Chris Esser marking 50 years of his own motorsport career. Together with entries into ADAC GT4 Germany and endurance races on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, PROsport is also set to field two Aston Martins for the 2024 GT4 European Series Powered by RAFA Racing Club.

PROsport team boss Esser says: “We would rather concentrate on our programme and do it right than get carried away and do too much, which would ultimately harm the entire team. However, the great interest [in racing with the team this year] makes me very proud and it is the result of years of intensive work with the corresponding results.”

Drivers have yet to be revealed, but PROsport says its teams “will combine experienced and successful GT4 drivers as well as promising young talents.”
