A top crew in the Manthey 'Grello' Porsche at the 12 Hours of Bathurst

For its first outing at the Bathurst 12 Hours (2-3 February) - the opening round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge - the 992 GT3 R Porsche will have a lot to live up to. And for good reason, the #911 will be entrusted to a top class crew.

Last year's IMSA GTD Pro champions with Pfaff Motorsport, Mathieu Jaminet and Matt Campbell will share the wheel again. As a reminder, they will not be driving the same 963 this year in the North American Endurance Championship. The latter, who will be playing on home soil and will be looking for a second victory on the mythical Mount Panorama Circuit after 2019, is not unhappy to be reunited with his French friend with whom he shone so brightly in 2022.

The third man will be Thomas Preining. Seen twice at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2019 and 2020, the 24-year-old Austrian (2018 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany champion) finished fifth of the DTM last year.

Without a doubt, all the assets are there for "Grello" to shine!
