WEC’s Dries Vanthoor to make British GT debut at Silverstone 500
Dries Vanthoor will be competing in a one-off three-hour race for Century Motorsport on April 26-28 at Silverstone, alongside his WEC commitments for the BMW M4 GT3 hypercar class. Originally, the drive was for Dan Harper, but due to unforeseen circumstances, Vanthoor was selected to take Harper’s place for the British GT season. Although their main goal is to defend their win at Silverstone, Vanthoor’s experience as a three-time GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup champion and a Le Mans 24 Hours winner brings a lot of quality to the team. The upcoming debut race will be broadcast live and free on Motorsport.tv, featuring a competitive 44-car grid, including Jann Mardenborough, the 2011 GT Academy winner, driving for Team RJN alongside Chris Buncombe in a McLaren 720S GT3.
