DSC is on site and raring to go with a full team at Paul Ricard for the two day Blancpain GT pre-season test which starts tomorrow and continues on Thursday.

12 manufacturers will be represented by the teams that are competing in the Blancpain GT Series and the Blancpain GT Sports Club, the SRO series for Bronze drivers.

Among the cars are plenty of machines making their first official appearance in a Blancpain GT Series event, such as the BMW M6 GT3, Mercedes AMG GT3 or Porsche 911 GT3-R.

No Ferrari 488s are currently listed – we’ll see tomorrow if any of the European customer cars have yet been delivered.

The action starts on Wednesday morning at 09:00 local time with a four-hour session before lunch. The afternoon session then runs between 14:00 and 17:00. Thursday’s timetable follows the same format.

On Wednesday evening at 18:00, Stephane Ratel, Founder and CEO of SRO Motorsports Group, will unveil the starting grids for this year’s Blancpain GT Series – Sprint and Endurance Cups – and Blancpain GT Sports Club during an exclusive 2016 presentation held at the circuit’s Pit Building Hall. The presentation will be broadcast live via the Blancpain GT Series website.
