GT WORLD CHALLENGE SPRINT CUP KICKS OFF IN FRANCE WITH PIRELLI
*Sprint format makes its 2021 debut following opening endurance round at Monza
*Two hour-long races at Magny-Cours this weekend: one at night and one in the day
*The former home of the French Grand Prix provides a wide-ranging challenge for tyres
Milan, May 5, 2021 – Following an action-packed Endurance Cup season opener at Monza last month, the Pirelli-equipped GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup gets underway at Magny-Cours this weekend, with a field of 27 cars taking part in a pair of one-hour races at the French circuit.
Porsche came out on top in the first Endurance round of the year in Italy, but the Sprint Cup is renowned for delivering unpredictable results thanks to its shorter format, while the tight and twisty confines of the Magny-Cours track are sure to punish the slightest mistake over the course of the weekend.
