The Haas RT celebrates its debut in this year’s edition of the 24h Spa / GT World Challenge

Haas RT has announced plans to participate in this year’s CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa with two Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO IIs. One of the crews will compete in the Pro category, which will expand beyond the 19-car field that competed in the Fanatec GT Europe season opener at Circuit Paul Ricard.

Haas RT pilots will be announced at a later date.

This is an important commitment of the Belgian-Antuigan team, based in the suburbs of Brussels. The team was founded at the end of 2022 by Sandrine Haas and Kris Dedoncker and has already participated in several important events with great success.

The team achieved a podium finish at the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi, a win at the 12 Hours of Mugello, a strong position at the 12 Hours of Spa and a podium finish at the 24 Hours of Barcelona. At the end of his first season he took the GT3 title in the 24H Series Europe Championship.

As the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa celebrates its centenary in 2024, the Haas RT has chosen a very special year to make its debut in the Ardennes classic. The team will participate in important rituals leading up to the event, such as: B. a parade in the center of the city of Biashara, while the final list of entries promises to be incredibly competitive.

“The decision to trade was an easy one for us,” Haas and Dedoncker said in a statement announcing the deal. “The CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa is one of the biggest GT3 endurance races in the world, and as the team is based in Belgium, it’s also a home race.”

The Haas RT will make its debut at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, taking place on May 21 and 22. The event runs from June 26 to 30, with racing starting at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 29.
