2012 will be busy for Pro GT by Alméras

Avec un titre de champion B en Porsche Carrera Cup et un titre de champion de France FFSAGT, the 2011 year of Pro GT by Alméras was prolific to say the least. “Since 2011 we have had official support from Porsche Germany for our GT3 program, underlines boss Philippe Alméras. We weren't the only ones? Other teams entered in this championship had the support of Audi, Porsche or even Mercedes. In these conditions, the title of our champion duo Anthony Beltoise and Laurent Pasquali is truly valued. And the performance of our second GT3 (Laurent Cazenave and Jean-Claude Police finished on the podium twice. Editor’s note.) confirm our competitiveness. We’re not here by chance?”

But in 2012, the Montpellier team needed a new challenge. While continuing to field four cars in the Porsche Carrera Cup (with perhaps a return to A with drivers from the car) and two in GT Tour, two GT3 R will be entered in Blancpain Endurance Series, the GT championship in vogue at the moment. The first will be a new chassis with the 2012 developments, delivered in February, the second, a 2011 chassis equipped with the 2012 developments. “The team has to be at the 24 Hours of Spa, because for me it is the most difficult race I have participated in as a driver, continues Philippe Alméras. We will leave with a new car because we want to give ourselves the means to achieve our ambitions. The two crews will be Pro/Am, one of which will be Anthony Beltoise, reigning French Champion. » And everyone is already at work, since a test session has already been completed on the Lédenon circuit on December 5.
