On the Sumo Power GT team, Brazilian ex-Formula One duo Ricardo Zonta and Enrique Bernoldi will be behind the wheel of the No.20 car, having both raced within GT1 and won races (for Reiter Lamborghini and Vitaphone Maserati respectively) in 2010. Meanwhile, in the No.21 car, Jamie Campbell-Walter returns for a second season, partnered this time round by Australian David Brabham, who has enjoyed double-title winning success within ALMS.

For Jamie, the Yas Marina circuit is very familiar territory due to his role as the circuit’s official Formula One driver (driving the ex-Minardi two-seater car for promotional purposes). He comments: “Yas Marina is like a second home for me, and a circuit on which I spend a lot of time – it’s probably the best facility in the world and a great track. Going into the weekend I only have one objective, and that’s to win both races and come away from the weekend leading the championship!”

Fellow Sumo-Power GT team-mate Enrique Bernoldi , who has his own experience of Yas Marina having driven there in GT1 for Vitaphone Maserati last season, added: “Yas Marina is an excellent track and I really enjoy competing there. It has a lot of overtaking places, which makes for a good race.

I am extremely pleased to be part of Sumo Power GT and to drive a Nissan this year. The team looks very motivated and I think that Ricardo [Zonta] and I will have a very good chance of fighting for the title, which of course is our number-one goal.”
