Razoon - More Than Racing will take on the Fanatec GT2 European Series Powered by Pirelli in 2024 with a brace of KTM X-Bow machines for its debut campaign.
The Graz-based outfit enjoyed successful showings at the 24 Hours of Dubai, Barcelona and the Middle East most recently, and will now expand its KTM X-Bow offering to two cars entered for a maiden venture to Fanatec GT2 this term.
The first will feature an all-Danish Pro-Am pairing of Thomas Andersen and rapid teenager Simon Birch, while Team Principal Dominik Olbert will compete for Am honours in the second car, teaming up with familiar partner Denis Liebl. Together, the latter duo have already achieved podium finishes and victories at the wheel of a KTM X-Bow in recent endurance racing outings.
Looking forward to the coming season, Olbert commented: “We are competing because we want to win in the respective classes. But of course we are aware that the competition is extremely strong and that we have to constantly optimize ourselves.
“I believe that we are well positioned with our driver pairings. Our Pro-Am duo in particular has what it takes. I'm looking forward to an exciting season with a hopefully steep learning curve, and as I will also be in the car myself, I am personally looking forward to many great duels!”
Liebl backed up the words of his team-mate, adding: “I've been following the series since the beginning and I think it's developing very well. The fact that we are competing at the GT World Challenge Europe meetings, on great tracks and in the strongest starting grid since the series began will be a huge challenge. But I'm in the perfect team for it and I'm already extremely excited about what we can achieve.”
Dane Andersen meanwhile stated: “After our debut season in the Le Mans Cup last year, Simon and I are looking forward to continuing our partnership in the GT2 European Series in 2024. We are up against very experienced and fast competitors, so we have to be realistic about our expectations. But we will do our best to challenge the other teams.”
The first point of call for Razoon - More Than Racing is the season-opening Fanatec GT2 European Series Powered by Pirelli meeting at Circuit Paul Ricard in France across 5-6 April.
