We know Schumacher CLRT in GT World Challenge Europe and Porsche Cup. The Lyon structure is also present in Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe and GT4. In Como Ledogar the GT3 and the Cup, in Gilles Zaffini the Super Trofeo and the GT4. For Schumacher CLRT, formerly Autosport GP, the programs worked well this year.
In addition to the FFSA GT and the GT4 European Series, the team led by Gilles Zaffini is making its debut in Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe. Simon Gachet, Simon Tirman, Jean-Baptiste Méla, Lola Lovinfosse, Laurent Hurgon and Stephan Guérin are wearing the Schumacher CLRT colors this season. Before entering the world finals in Jerez, the latter can still win the Am crown by being 7 lengths from the lead.
For Gilles Zaffini, this first season in Lamborghini is positive. “There is not the slightest regret about switching to Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europehe told us. The car is very fast, we are facing teams who have been there for a long time. Our drivers are gradually adapting to the car and the championship. »
In each race, Schumacher CLRT’s Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2s were seen on track, which the team boss welcomed. “We had a great first seasonunderlines Gilles Zaffini. An Am driver of the caliber of Laurent Hurgon was immediately in the mix. There was also this overall podium in the 24 Hours of Le Mans thanks to Simon Gachet and Simon Tirman. It’s just magical for a first year in this type of championship. »
Going through GT4 was a good launching pad. “The GT4 category brought rigor to the team, both in terms of sport, technique and regulations.specifies Zaffini. The GT4 is a great school to go higher. A team cannot arrive in GT3 overnight. You must first go through other formulas. »
Before thinking about 2025, Schumacher CLRT will compete in the Lamborghini World Finals with the desire to end on a positive note. There will then be the GT4 European Series final in Saudi Arabia. The only thing we know for 2025 is that Gilles Zaffini intends to play up front in Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe.
“For 2025, the idea is to develop our activities in Super Trofeo Europeconfides the boss of the Lyon team. We will do everything during the winter to put everything together and go for a title in 2025. The Alpine Cup should also be on the program. Single-brand categories are still advantageous in quite a few areas. Nothing is closed for GT4 but at the same time, it is not at all guaranteed that we will be on the track in GT4 next season. The subject of the BoP must necessarily be taken into account and everyone is hiding behind this BoP. You have to be able to ignore it and work for the result. »
