Marcus Amand completes the ART Grand Prix line-up in FRECA

The ART Grand Prix crew for FRECA’s 2023 campaign is now complete. After Laurens van Hoepen and Charlie Wurz, the third seat will be occupied by the Franco-Finnish Marcus Amand. 

After a career in karting marked by his domination in the Rotax Max Challenge at just 11 years old, he was crowned in the FIA ​​Karting European Championship in the OK Junior category in 2019. Two years later, he entered F4 in Italy and Germany for a season full of learning but difficult. His 2022 season in the championship puts him back in the saddle with two podiums.

« I discovered ART Grand Prix online at the end of the 2022 season, says Amand, and I loved the atmosphere and the professionalism of the stable, I acclimatized well there. » 

« The car is difficult to understand at first and very different from what I have driven in F4, observes the pilot. But the team is very attentive and, thanks to their help, I progressed throughout my training to finish with a great performance. We have laid good foundations, I am very looking forward to tackling this new challenge with ART Grand Prix. I'm ready for a new start! »

« Marcus has had a spectacular career in karting, and his transition into car was  very courageous with only two seasons in foreign championships to manage everything at such a young age, underlines Sébastien Philippe, director of ART Grand Prix. At the end of last year, he integrated the team perfectly during the FRECA trials and his thirst for learning, coupled with his ability to apply the team's advice and his speed, convinced us of the fact that he had all the qualities to succeed in such a competitive championship. »

If Laurens van Hoepen enters his sophomore year in Formula Regional, Wurz and Amand will take their first steps there.
