With the final race weekend at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, W&S Motorsport brought this year’s GT4 Winter Series to a close. A total of four cars represented the team in Barcelona, fighting for strong results across different classes.
Car #31, driven by Maximilian Schreyer and Alon Gabay, competed in the PRO category, while car #30 with Tim Horrell and Frederik Zebis took on the PRO/AM classification. Two entries lined up in the AM class: car #88 with Joachim Bölting and car #33 with Alexander Danzer and Daniel Blicke.
For W&S Motorsport, the Winter Series was never primarily about chasing the championship. Instead, the races served to keep both drivers and team in rhythm throughout the winter months. That made the final outcome even more rewarding: Joachim Bölting secured the overall AM class title in the GT4 Winter Series with car #88.
Daniel Schellhaas was pleased with the team’s performance:
“Barcelona was a very good start to our motorsport year. Having four cars on the grid was, of course, great. The drivers worked their way through the sessions well and showed a strong improvement throughout the entire weekend. For us, the Winter Series fulfilled exactly the purpose we hoped for: the drivers and the team stay in rhythm, and we can head into the season with a lot of momentum.”
Maximilian Schreyer also looked back on the weekend positively:
“Barcelona was a successful season opener. P3 in class in the sprint race and P4 overall in the endurance race are strong results we can build on for the rest of the season. Many thanks to the team, my sponsors, and my teammate Alon for the hard work and the promising start to the season. I’m already looking forward to the rest of the year.”
Daniel Blicke took valuable lessons from the weekend as well:
“My guest start in Barcelona was preparation for the GT4 European Series. Together with our coach Marvin Dienst, we were able to analyse and work on a lot to be well prepared for the season opener in Le Castellet. Despite an incident on Sunday, we fought back and secured P2 in class in the end — a positive finish and valuable learnings for the challenges ahead.”
Tim Horrell adds:
“I’ve gained valuable experience and am now focusing on further developing my driving skills in a targeted manner for the upcoming season. With the support of my team, I’m confident that I’ll make significant progress this year and achieve successful results.”
Following the successful conclusion of the GT4 Winter Series, W&S Motorsport is now fully focused on the upcoming challenges in the GT4 European Series and ADAC GT4 Germany, where the team will once again compete with multiple cars.
