Veteran GT racer Erik Evans recently concluded his dual campaign in the British GT4 Championship and GT4 European Series, securing sixth and eighth positions respectively with the Ford Mustang S650 GT4.

Currently testing the Mustang GT3 in Portimao, Portugal, Evans is working closely with Ford Performance and Multimatic engineers to gain valuable experience in the more powerful GT3 car.

For 2025, Evans plans to focus exclusively on the GT4 European Series, moving away from the British GT4 Championship. The European series features incredibly competitive racing, with up to 50 cars on the grid and 35 competitors typically within one second of each other.

The 2024 season saw significant development of the Mustang, progressing from no initial data to consistent top-10 performances. With this established baseline and improved understanding of both car and tire performance, Evans and his team are confident about their competitive prospects for 2025.

Notable highlights from Evans' 2024 season include:

• Making history with the first-ever GT start in Saudi Arabia
• Two runner-up finishes at Hockenheim
• Leading 95% of race one at Hockenheim
• Setting the fastest lap in race one
• Strong performances at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, which Evans considers one of his favorite tracks due to its challenging high-speed corners and unique night-racing atmosphere

The competitive nature of these championships continues to push Evans to excel, competing against top manufacturers, teams, and drivers in some of motorsport's most demanding environments.
