It’s the most anticipated endurance race with the world’s best drivers and manufacturers taking to the iconic Spa Francorchamps Circuit for the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.
Father and son duo Stephen and Brenton Grove, along with Anton De Pasquale and Earl Bamber will continue their international GT campaign this month taking part in the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa forming part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge.
The squad has been sharing the driving duties across the IGTC rounds which have so far included the Bathurst 12 Hour and the Kyalami 9 Hour. They also participated in the Dubai 24 Hour early this year where they placed an impressive P4, just shy of a podium. In addition, they took to Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit for a round of the GT World Challenge Australia bringing home a P2 result.
The team took to Spa Francorchamps circuit last month to undertake a mandatory two-day test. Anton helped push the Porsche to second in the fourth and concluding session, finishing just 0.092s from another Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) in P1 showing impressive potential for the Bronze entry.
The Grove entry placed 64th, 47th, 44th and 2nd across the four sessions with the annual 24 Hour race set to be held from June 29-July 2.
The Grove’s are not unfamiliar with the Belgium circuit with the duo competing alongside Matt Payne and Adrian de Silva back in 2022.
The crew will be supported by the team at Earl Bamber Motorsport as they have been for the last two rounds of the series as well as Penrite Racing car #19 Race Engineer, Jack Bell who has previously worked alongside the Groves in their Porsche Carrera Cup Campaign in 2022 as well as Super2 series.
The event will be held from June 29-July 2.
