This coming Easter weekend, Rinaldi Racing will kick off the 2015 Blancpain GT Series season with the Sprint Series in Nogaro, France.

The Easter Cup “Coupes des Paques” takes place from 4 to 6 April. The GT pros Marco Seefried and Norbert Siedler will share the wheel of the only Ferrari 458 Italia in the field.

Throughout the season, the racing cars will be looked after by the team around Michele Rinaldi and perfectly prepared for their races. Team boss Rinaldi is optimistic ahead of the first race on the 3.36-kilometre track in the south of France: “The race tracks of the Blancpain Sprint Series don’t really suit our Ferrari. But as we all know, you grow with your tasks and so we are looking forward to the challenge.” After the qualifying race on Sunday, the one-hour main race will take place on Easter Monday. In addition to the live stream on the internet, the channel “Eurosport” will broadcast the race live on TV.

Rinaldi Racing will have no time to catch their breath after the opening race in Nogaro. Because just one week later (11-12 April), the Blancpain Endurance Series will also start its season. The sworn-in squad has only a few days to travel to Monza in Italy and prepare the cars directly at the traditional circuit. The calendar of the endurance championship comprises a total of five rounds. The 24 Hours of Spa are the absolute highlight for the team and the fans.

In addition to the professionals, the gentlemen drivers take on a big task for Rinaldi Racing in the Blancpain Endurance Series. Steven Parrow and Rinat Salikov pilot a Ferrari 458 Italia and want to prove their skills. “We are proud of our talents,” explains team boss Michele Rinaldi. “Without gentleman drivers like Vadim Kogay and Rinat Salikhov supporting us in the professional Blancpain Sprint Series entry, this would not be possible for us.”
