At the fourth round of the season in Valencia, the GT Winter Series will see a new addition from Lithuania. Juta Racing will enter two Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II at the world-famous Circuit Ricardo Tormo, where the MotoGP season finale is held every year.
The racing team, which is managed by Jonas Gelžinis, is best known to GT fans for last year’s programme of up to two Audi cars in the ADAC GT Masters, but the team has also been represented in the 24H Series for many years. The team was founded back in 1988 and has not only focussed on circuit racing. The team from Kaunas has also been represented in karting, the World Rally Championship and the European Rally Championship.
At the GT Winter Series in Valencia, last year’s ADAC GT Masters driver Jonas Karklys, who was previously also active in the ADAC TCR Germany and the Renault Clio Cup Central Europe in Germany, will compete in the popular racing series organised by GEDLICH Racing. He will share the car with his compatriot Arūnas Gečiauskas, who has gained a lot of experience in TCR racing.
The second car will be driven by Ukrainian Yevgen Sokolovskiy, who has gained experience in recent years in GT4 cars, in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series and also in the Juta Racing Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II in endurance races. He will share the car with the Swede Lukas Sundahl, who has been competing in the Scandinavian Porsche Carrera Cup since 2016 and will now make his GT3 debut.
