Zamparelli seals late deal to return to Porsche Carrera Cup GB

Dino Zamparelli will again race in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB this year with the GT Marques squad.

The 23-year-old had a difficult rookie season in 2015 and struggled in the first half of the year with Parr Motorsport. But a switch to GT Marques for the final four races proved successful when he took two wins at Silverstone.

“We ended last year on a high and that was what I wanted,” said the former GP3 driver. “This year is really about continuing the job and proving that we can fight in the top three every race, not just those two races.

“[Having switched teams] we were up there fighting and that was key to me returning this year. I’m now excited to get going and am really looking forward to it.”

Zamparelli ended up sixth in the standings in 2015 but, besides champion Dan Cammish, he was the only driver to take more than one win. “I was surprised I got the second highest number of wins last year,” he added. “Dan had a really good season – I wanted him back and want to be putting some pressure on him this year.”
