TEAM NEWS: British GT Championship-winning Steller Motorsport are today happy to announce their graduation to international GT racing with participation in the 2023 Michelin Le Mans Cup.
Steller are embarking on a long-term commitment to race in endurance motorsport at the very highest level as confirmed competitors in race events sanctioned by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest.
Competing in the 2023 season of ACO sanctioned endurance racing is also hugely significant, as the world famous 24 Hours of Le Mans will celebrate its centenary at the Circuit de la Sarthe in June in front of a sell-out crowd of over 300,000 spectators.
The number 42 Steller Motorsport Audi R8 LMS Evo2 GT3 will be driven throughout the 2023 season by Sennan Fielding and James Wood.
Launched in a dynamic white, orange, grey and red livery, the Steller Motorsport Audi will also proudly wear 'In Support of Race Against Dementia' colours for the season, a charity set up by three-time F1 world champion, Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, to fund research into the disease and ultimately find its cure.
