Bryce Miller - Spa 24h preview

Bryce Miller is en route to Belgium to participate in the world's biggest GT
race – the Total 24 Hours of Spa – on July 25 and 26. The race will be his
first start on the challenging 7.004-km (4.35-mile) Circuit de
Spa-Francorchamps. He will co-drive with Porsche Junior Team drivers Marco
Holzer of Bobingen, Germany, and Martin Ragginger of Salzburg, Austria, and
their teammate Luigi Lucchini of Brescia, Italy.

 

Their No. 97 Marquis Jet / IPC / Total Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be prepared
by Brixia Racing. Racing under the BMS Scuderia Italia banner, the team
posted a second-place GT2 finish in les 24 Heures du Mans in June.

 

"I'm super-excited to race at Spa because of the long history of the
circuit, the prestige of the event, and also because of the famous Eau Rouge
section and the complexity of the course," Miller said. "I'm really looking
forward to driving it. It's very technical – I've been playing it on my
video game to get a rhythm of the circuit because it's 4.3 miles. It's not
just any other track that has a 24-hour event. It's awesome!

 

"The team is strong and my co-drivers have good pace, so I think we're
well-positioned for a good result with that combination. It will be fun to
drive with Marco Holzer again. He and Martin are both talented young factory
drivers; they're fast and they bring a youthful energy to the team."
