Barwell Motorsport is delighted to announce that it has now finalised its driver line-up for this year’s CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. Joining full-season drivers Rob Collard and Dennis Lind in our Pro-Am class Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 will be Bashar Mardini (Canada) and Patrick Kujala (Finland). After winning the first round at Monza in April, the Black Bull Scotch Whisky-backed team are currently the Pro-Am Cup championshi
Mardini will replace Adam Balon – who is unavailable for Spa – as the second Bronze-graded driver in the car whilst Kujala will be the extra Pro driver allowed in the line-up for the 24 Hours only. Bashar is new to Barwell but has extensive international sportscar racing experience, having been a Pro-Am winner in multiple European Porsche Carrera Cup series over the past five seasons as well as sampling GT3 and LMP3 machinery in the Asian Le Mans Series. Patrick however has been a huge part of Barwell’s suc
Rob also has a winning pedigree at the 24 Hours as he was part of the victorious Pro-Am crew in 2020 alongside his son Ricky, Leo Machitski and Sandy Mitchell. Dennis meanwhile has previously been a winner at the Spa circuit in a Barwell Lamborghini, but it was in the ’21 British GT Championship two-hour race there! However he has won a 24-Hour race with us before, as both him and Patrick were in our 2019 Barcelona 24 Hours winning car – the first outright 24 Hour-race victory for the Huracan GT3.
