SR Motorsport take a commanding lead in the championship

The SR Motorsport pairing of Jay Mo Härtling and Kenneth Heyer have dominated the first five events of the 2024 GT Winter Series. They have driven to seven class victories in the GT3 category so far in the Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo. The SR Motorsport team – a subsidiary of Schnitzelalm Racing – are therefore on the verge of matching the achievement of Michael Sander and Marcel Marchewicz during the 2021/2022 season, in a Schnitzelalm-entered BMW M240i.

Hartling and Heyer have now scored a total of 104.29 points. The duo therefore have a 26.53-point lead over Leandro Martins and Dieter Svepes in the Racar Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. This means that just a few points at the season finale at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya would be enough for the two AMG drivers to secure the title.

However, Martins and Svepes can now attest to how quickly a race weekend can turn sour, after scoring zero points in Aragon. After a collision in the first race, the duo were also unable to contest the remainder of the event. Härtling and Heyer are aware of the risk that, in the event of an unforeseen incident, the title decision could be turned on its head again!
