Experienci­ng an ENDLESS SUMMER

-

The December to March period is typically one of inactivity for Uk-based exotic car owners, when their pride and joy is shuttered away while awaiting better weather in the spring. But skiing doesn’t have to be the only alternativ­e for trackday enthusiast­s to get their thrills over winter says Markus Gedlich, the promoter of Endless Summer events held across the finest racing venues in Portugal and Spain throughout the winter months.

“We created Endless Summer trackdays in 2010 to cater for hobby drivers, amateurs and profession­als to provide them with the ultimate driving experience, blending motorsport with leisure,” he says. “It has been phenomenal­ly successful, with many familiar faces returning year after year to enjoy the biggest trackday series in Europe.”

The highly experience­d team at Gedlich Racing organises a series of 14 two-day trackday experience­s, some limited to race vehicles only, at Formula 1standard circuits across the Iberian Peninsula that are renowned for being fun and profession­al.

Open to drivers of all levels of experience, from novices to trackday veterans and teams looking to conduct profession­al testing in preparatio­n for the upcoming racing season, Endless Summer events offer 1-1 coaching from experience­d experts who will provide advice and help define goals, plus provide use of data and video analysis on the Race Navigator system.

Gedlich Racing arranges for your own vehicle to be transporte­d and safely stored near to your first booked event, ready to go upon arrival, and then transporta­tion to subsequent events. Trusted local partners provide car maintenanc­e, parts and tyre servicing.

A huge variety of race-ready rental cars are also available to suit all budgets and skill levels. These range from near-stock machines to more powerful

TCR, Porsche Cup, LMP3 and Gt3-spec machinery from major manufactur­ers including Mercedes, BMW and Audi, each coming with fully trained race mechanics who will ensure the car is perfectly prepared.

Prospectiv­e drivers can also get a chance to sample competitiv­e action as part of the GT Winter Series package also organised by Gedlich Racing, with four race dates planned on the same weekends as Endless Summer trackdays.

“Opportunit­ies to test and race on the same weekend allow drivers to improve their skill levels and grow in confidence,” says Gedlich. “It makes for an ideal platform for beginners starting out on their racing journey.”

Travel arrangemen­ts including flights, accommodat­ion and rental vehicles are all included as part of the package, along with trackside hospitalit­y for drivers and guests.

A limited number of slots are available to guarantee the best on-track experience. To avoid disappoint­ment, call +49 69 900 28 429 or contact office@gedlich-racing.com.
