Blancpain GT squad confident after pre-season testing and preparations
LE CASTELLET, France – Nissan's driver squads for this season's #blancpaingt Series Endurance and Sprint events are ready for battle after last week's pre-season championship test at Circuit Paul Ricard in the South of France.
The test was the first opportunity for GT Academy Team RJN to have all seven drivers together to prepare for the season ahead.
The 2016 NISMO line-up includes:
- Reigning Pro-class champion Alex Buncombe (United Kingdom)
- Former Pro-Am champion and inaugural GT Academy winner Lucas Ordóñez (Spain)
- Newcomer Sean Walkinshaw (United Kingdom)
- Japanese ace Mitsunori Takaboshi
- Former GT Academy winner Ricardo Sanchez (Mexico)
- New GT Academy graduates Matthew Simmons (Australia) and Romain Sarazin (France)
Buncombe will team with Takaboshi for the sprint series with Ordóñez joining the trio for the endurance races aboard the No.23 #nissan #gtrnismogt3.
"I'm really excited to be back in Europe this year to team up with my old friend Alex Buncombe, and also with Mitsunori who was my teammate in Formula 3 in Japan last year," said Ordóñez. "I can't wait for the first race in Monza in a month's time. We are looking good, and I think we will be able to fight for the podium and have a great chance of taking the championship again. At the test I had two runs in the car at Paul Ricard and the lap time was pretty good. We improved the car a lot with some set-up changes and then the new GT Academy boys had their first runs, which was obviously very important for them to adapt to the track and the car. Mitsunori also had his first runs in the car, which was important for him to get used to the Pirelli tires but he was right on the pace straight away."
The first races of the year will both be staged in Italy with the sprint round on April 8-10 at Misano and the opening endurance #event at Monza on April 23-24.
The #nissan sprint lineup will include Buncombe and Takaboshi (No.23) and Sanchez/Walkinshaw (No.22). The endurance combinations feature Buncome/Takaboshi/Ordonez (No.23) and Walkinshaw/Simmons/Sarazin (No.22)
