AL-MANAR RACING’S ENGEL, STOLZ AND SCHILLER BID FOR GLORY IN ENDURANCE CUP RACE FINALE IN BARCELONA

NISSAN

The Al-Manar Racing by Getspeed trio of Maro Engel, Luca Stolz, Fabian Schiller conclude their campaign for honours in the Pro Cup category of the 2023 Fanatec GT World Challenge powered by AWS Endurance Cup at this weekend’s three-hour race on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain

The Al-Manar Racing team secured second places at the Paul Ricard circuit in France and at the Nurburgring in the summer, but finished ninth at Spa. The trio would dearly love to round off the season with a victory in a race that will also decide the outcome of the Pro Cup category in this year’s Fanatec GT World Challenge powered by AWS Endurance Cup

Engel and Stolz have a winning pedigree on the circuit, having won the race back in 2018, while the Mercedes brand was successful in 2017, 2019 and 2021

Victory at the most recent round in Spa fell to Rowe Racing’s Philipp Eng, Marco Wittmann and Nick Yelloly in their BMW M4 and the trio will go head-to-head with the AKKODIS ASP Team Mercedes, crewed by Raffaele Marciello, Timur Boguslavskiy and Jules Gounon, to decide this year’s title on the 4.7km Spanish circuit

The AKKODIS ASP Team currently has an 18-point lead in the Drivers’ Championship and a 15-point cushion in the Teams’ Championship. A BMW has never won at the Barcelona circuit, but the Rowe Racing trio will need to do just that to stand any chance of claiming the title
