NEW ASSETTO BRANDS LINE-UP
Assetto Motorsport ran a second Ginetta GT4 at British GT’s Brands Hatch meeting last weekend as Am driver Mark Sansom’s work commitments keep his Bentley GT3 out of 2022’s remainder.
Sansom graduated to GT3 with Assetto this season, racing alongside Will Tregurtha. At Brands Assetto instead entered its Ginetta GT4 Supercup racer Darren Leung beside Charlie Robertson as a Pro-Am duo in a second G56 GT4. Robertson raced alongside Sansom in Assetto’s British GT Ginetta GT4 last season.
Assetto is set to race only one car in next month’s Donington Park finale. Leung at Donington will race Century’s BMW GT3 with Alexander Sims.
Assetto managing director Simon Traves told Motorsport News: “Brands GP is the bestsuited track to the Ginetta on the calendar. It’s the same car, Darren has a car already, so it just made sense for him to do it.
“We already had the entry from the GT3, which SRO let us convert over to GT4.
“We’ve worked with [Leung] for over a year now and he’s turned into a really good Am driver. He’s been battling with the Pros at times.”
