Many visitors to the English weekend, there are more than 30 workers in total who will fight in England. In the PRO class we focus on the participation of Ricardo Feller/Mattia Drudi (Tresor Orange 1 #40), Christopher Haase / Lucas Légeret (Comtoyou Racing #11) e Frederic Vervisch / Nicolas Baert (Comtoyou Racing #12), three players associated with Audi Sport who can produce surprises on a specific track where overlap is not given.

Qualifying will be more important than ever, the battle against the clock will take place on Saturday afternoon. We remind you that, unlike other Sprint Cup events, the two races will take place on Sunday a few hours apart, an unusual selection structure that is actually the second of the ten GTWC European appointments.
