Hankook 12H ITALY-MUGELLO: Ellis and Barwick joined by Haigh at Optimum for Mugello

Team reunites with former driver Flick Haigh for Mugello
Ellis and Barwick look to continue where they left off in first race
Dubai win was the first for a Ginetta G55 GT4 in a 24h raceBradley Ellis (GBR) and Ade Barwick (GBR), who formed part of Optimum Motorsport’s Dubai 24 Hour GT4 class-winning entry, are back with the Wakefield-based team and joined by experienced GT racer Flick Haigh for their latest challenge, the Mugello 12 Hour race in Italy (13-14 March 2015).

Ellis, 27, a former British GT champion, was instrumental in the success of Optimum at the twice round the clock Middle East event in January, and re-unites with Barwick, 47, in the Optimum Motorsport Ginetta G55 GT4 for the Mugello event, the second round of the 2015 24HSeries.

The Italian round of the 2015 24H Series should offer Ellis so familiarity, as part of the Croydon-born star’s junior career saw him have a factory kart drive with the Italian ITLOOX Racing team, before his ‘car’ debut in Formula Renault Italia aged just 16.

“Italy has been good to me, I’ve had three wins and three podiums in other series,” reflects Ellis. “I love the country and can’t wait to return. While I’ve not raced at Mugello before, I’ve tested there with Ade a fair bit. After winning Dubai, we felt it would be good to come and do this one with Optimum. It was such a great result in Dubai; we dominated the class, so we’re hoping for more of the same again at Mugello.

“It’s yet more good experience for Ade ahead of British GT; we have some areas to work on together and Creventic put on a good event, so hopefully it should be good fun to do.”

Ram Racing Leads 12H Mugello-Italy at Four Hour Mark


March 13 Sportscar365



Ram Racing’s Mercedes SLS AMG GT3, driven by Tom Onslow-Cole, Adam Christodoulou and Paul White, leads the Hankook 12H Italy-Mugello after four hours.
The No. 30 Mercedes finished the first part of the race, 15.950 seconds ahead of the No. 7 HB Racing Team Herberth Porsche 997 GT3 R, which led the race twice.

Fifteen minutes from the end of part one of the race the No. 66 Black Pearl Racing by Rinaldi Ferrari 458 Italia spun off, while trying to catch the Ram Racing Mercedes that was in the pit.

The spin meant the former race leader dropped to third place, albeit still on the lead lap and therefore still in contention for race victory when the race continues tomorrow.
