Steller’s GT4 Audi makes comeback

Steller Performance will return to the GT4 ranks of the British GT Championship this year with an Audi R8 LMS entered in the Silver class for team regulars Sennan Fielding and Richard Williams.

The Gary Blackham-run team won twice with the car in its maiden season in 2019, including the final race of the year at Donington Park after the entry was switched from Pro-am to Silver and had to serve a longer mandatory pitstop.

Steller entered selected British GT rounds last season with a GT3 Audi, with Fielding and Williams scoring a best result of sixth at Brands

Hatch, but the GT4 machine hasn’t raced since 2019. Williams tested the car recently at Silverstone “to reacquaint myself with the controls” and told Autosport that he was eager to pick up where he left off.

“The GT4 Audi is such a brilliant package that we were able to extract some good performance from in 2019 and to win the final round of the championship,” said Williams. “Last year with the GT3 car arriving was amazing, and now we’ve done a full circle back to the GT4 car with Sennan and I, which is very exciting.”

Williams added that the team has had time to “iron out all those issues” that come with running in a new car. “That was a brand-new package that we all had to learn about,” he said. “But they were only small issues, they weren’t anything fundamental, just little things that cost us. We’re looking forward to getting it back out there again to try and get some decent results.”
