GT4WS: W&S Motorsport returns to the GT4 Winter Series

GT4 Winter Series race winners W&S Motorsport will be back on the grid in 2025, this time mounting a full-season two-car assault.

The two entries, both utilising Porsche 718 Cayman RS CS GT4 models, will be split across the PRO and PRO-AM classes. The PRO car will be spearheaded by Alon Gabbay, who took a PRO-AM class win during the 2024 GT4 European Series with W&S. He will be partnered with German karting graduate Maximilian Schreyer.

Meanwhile, the PRO-AM entry features American racer Tim Horrell and Germany’s Nico Gründel. Horrell’s racing career began well after a road accident at the age of 21, in which he sustained significant injuries and had to re-adjust to life as a paraplegic. He embarked upon a new challenge in motorsport, scoring podiums in GT4 America and taking class victories in Trans-AM, before shifting focus to Europe.

Horrell has spent the last two seasons racing with W&S Motorsport in GTC Race, and has scored podiums with a car specially adapted by team partners Paravan.

Nico Gründel completed his first season of racing in GTC Race with W&S in a Porsche GT4, and was immediately on the pace among the strong GT4 class of the German category. For both drivers, the fiercely competitive international grid of the GT4 Winter Series will be a big test.

W&S Motorsport secured a victory at the Jerez round of the 2024 GT4 Winter Series, alongside multiple additional podiums during a partial campaign. This would prove to be just the beginning for the team, whose 2024 record would boast no fewer than 12 championship victories, including numerous GT4 accolades.

W&S took a clean sweep of all four championships available in ADAC GT4 Germany, becoming the first team to achieve this feat. The Ofterdingen-based squad secured both the teams’ and drivers titles in the GT4 European Series PRO-AM category, while further GT4 title glories were achieved in the NLS Cup 3 class, Porsche Sports Cup Germany and the GT4 Trophy class of GTC Race.

After a tremendous 2024, W&S Motorsport will look to continue this form in the 2025 GT4 Winter Series.

With numerous highly-successful GT4 teams on the grid, the 2025 GT4 Winter Series promises to be thrilling and immensely competitive. Make sure to watch every moment of the action live, and subscribe to the Winter Series YouTube channel to make sure you never miss a second!
