Full-time British GT return for ABBA Racing
Team ABBA Racing will return to the British GT championship for a full season next year after its partial 2018 campaign was curtailed by fire damage at Spa in July.
AMG factory driver Adam Christodoulou and Richard Neary will again drive the Mercedes-amg GT3, which has been repaired after the dramatic fire caused Christodoulou to spend a night in hospital for treatment on burns to his hands and smoke inhalation.
The pairing first appeared in 2017 when Christodoulou took over from the retiring Martin Short mid-season, but only made two appearances this term – failing to finish on both occasions – while Neary concentrated on racing in Britcar.
Christodoulou is determined to set the team’s recent poor luck aside and capitalise on its experience of the car.
“The car now being in its third year is to our advantage, hopefully we can take advantage of their lack of experience with the new cars out there,” said Christodoulou, ahead of his first national campaign since winning the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 UK title.
“We have to use everything to our advantage, we’ll be working hard over the winter doing plenty of testing and fine-tune the car more.”
Christodoulou will miss the first of two visits to Donington Park due to a clash with the Nurburgring 24 Hours.
