Vincent Vosse: “A season of observation”

A great regular in GT3 events, with a number of prestigious successes in the Blancpain GT Series, at the 24 Hours of Spa, the Nürburgring, but also at the 12 Hours of Bathurst, the Team WRT will turn to a new challenge in 2019 by landing in DTM.

A new program alongside GT and tourism which will open a new horizon for the structure of Vincent Vosse. “Our first year will be a season of observation anyway, the Belgian told us at Hockenheim. We arrive with our heads held high but with humility.

Three months ago, everyone was wondering if the DTM was going to exist in 2019. The arrival ofAston Martin, which will operate with a structure of the caliber of HWA, shows that the platform will be strong and solid. The implementation of new technical regulations also represented the ideal moment: the aim not being to reproduce the pattern of around ten years ago, with private teams using old equipment.

We should not expect miracles straight away, already because we will have to face structures with a lot of experience, and because there are very few possibilities for testing in pre-season. »

Faithful to his vocation of “pushing” young drivers, as was the case with the brothers Laurens and Dries Vanthoor, Vincent Vosse intends to bring drivers from the car to compose all or part of its line-up.
