Always faithful to the SRO series, Saintéloc Junior Team extends its presence in GT World Challenge Europe with a complete program combining Sprint and Endurance Cup. To avoid shaking up the foundations, the Saint-Etienne team continues its collaboration with Audi by entering R8 LMS GT3 in Pro and Silver.

To successfully complete this double program, Saintéloc Junior Team relied on a mix of youth and experience. Thus, Nicolas Baert, Lucas Légeret, César Gazeau and Aurélien Panis will represent the team on the track. To this trio, we must add the arrivals of three official Audi drivers, namely Gilles Magnus, Patric Niederhauser and Christopher Mies.

“In our history, we have very often had the desire to help young drivers progress, and this will clearly be our philosophy with the 2022 crews, particularly in the Silver Cup,” underlines Sébastien Chetail, the boss of Saintéloc. Some drivers will compete for a second year with us and in the Audi R8 LMS GT3 and we hope that they will take the next step in their career. We can also always count on the support of Audi Sport, with official drivers who will be able to support our young talents and, hopefully, make our colors shine. »
