Ecurie Ecosse Powered By Black Bull will continue to challenge for the Blancpain Endurance Series Pro-Am title this season. Alasdair McCaig and Olly Bryant return for another season behind the wheel of the Scottish squad’s BMW Z4 GT3 along with British racing talent Devon Modell.
The Scottish squad wants to improve upon last year’s third places in both the Drivers’ and Teams’ championships, and repeat its 100% points-scoring record. The team was the second highest-scoring full line-up in the Drivers’ standings after also finishing runner-up in the blue riband Total 24 Hours of Spa.
Once again Ecurie Ecosse can call on the support of numerous long-term partners in their respective title bids. For a fifth season Barwell Motorsport will oversee its on-track programmes, while this will be the fourth campaign featuring BMW Motorsport’s involvement.
Hugh McCaig (Ecurie Ecosse Team Principal): “I am delighted that Ecurie Ecosse are entering the European GT arena this year by competing in the Blancpain Endurance Series Pro-Am category with Olly Bryant, Devon Modell and Alasdair McCaig. I am also delighted that our close and very successful partnership with Barwell Motorsport will continue for a fifth season. The excellent relationship that we have also developed with BMW Motorsport underlines the strength of our team of people as a package.”
Devon Modell: “It's a privilege to race for such an iconic name as Ecurie Ecosse. In Olly and Alasdair I have two team-mates who came close to winning the title last year and hopefully I’ll be the final piece of the puzzle. The boys at Barwell Motorsport know how to set the car up and run a team that gets the best out of everyone. I can't wait to be back behind the wheel and for the season to start.”
