Tomorrow the preparations for the 2021 24 Hours of Spa (29 July - 1 August) will start with two days of official testing. For the crews involved, this test is essential to (re)familiarise themselves with this legendary 7km track in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes.   In the AKKA-ASP clan, the crews have been drawn up, mixing reliable and new resources. In the #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 entered in the Endurance Cup, the crew is solid and highly motivated. Raffaele Marciello will be teaming up with Daniel Juncadella and Jules Gounon, a trio out for the win and who are more than capable of achieving it. In the #87 we also have a good line-up with fast and sharp drivers. Thomas Drouet will be teaming up with Simon Gachet, Konstantin Tereschenko and Petru Umbrarescu.

The big news is the entry of a third Mercedes-AMG GT3, the #89, in the Intercontinental GT Challenge. This car will also take part in the rounds in Indianapolis and Kyalami in South Africa. Alongside the young Russian Timur Boguslavskiy, 2020 GT World Challenge Europe Champion and team regular, we will see the Brazilian Felipe Fraga and, exceptionally at Spa, a newcomer to the team, the Austrian Lucas Auer (26 years old, official Mercedes-AMG driver, experienced and quick). At the other rounds of the IGTC, Lello Marciello (entered in the Endurance Cup at Spa) will be completing the trio.
