French driver Célia Martin and American racer Lindsay Brewer will join forces for the inaugural season of the new GT3 Revival Series, sharing the #40 Klausen Racing Ford GT Matech in the Pro-Am class as part of an exciting new chapter for both drivers.

The pairing will compete in one of the most iconic GT3 machines of its era, the Ford GT Matech GT3, as the series celebrates the heritage of early GT3 racing with a grid featuring classic cars from the category’s first decade.

Martin arrives in the series following a major step forward in her career, having completed her first full season as the Bronze-rated driver in the Iron Dames’ flagship programs. In 2025, she competed at the highest level of endurance racing in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and the European Le Mans Series, where she demonstrated consistent progress and frequently ran at the front among Bronze-rated competitors.

Her promotion to the main Iron Dames line-up followed an earlier GT3 debut in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, marking a steady rise through the ranks of endurance racing. The GT3 Revival Series now offers Martin a fresh challenge while keeping her within familiar GT3 machinery, albeit in a historic format.

For Brewer, the programme represents her first full European GT campaign as she continues her progression in sports car racing after transitioning from big single seaters. After competing in high-level junior formulae such as USF Pro 2000 Championship and Indy NXT, she in fact switched to GT racing in 2025, quickly making an impression in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America.

Brewer secured two class victories and narrowly missed out on the AM class title during her rookie season, establishing herself as a very competitive driver in the series, with a consistent run of podium finishes. She has continued that momentum into 2025, opening her campaign with a Pro-Am podium at Sebring.

Having already made a European appearance at the Lamborghini World Finals in Misano, Brewer now steps into a broader European programme: while the GT3 Revival Series features historic rather than current-generation cars, it operates within the broader SRO platform, offering valuable exposure and experience at circuits synonymous with top-level GT racing.

The Ford GT Matech GT3 holds a significant place in GT racing history, having competed in major championships between 2007 and 2011. The car is also linked to historic moments for women in motorsport, including an all-female entry fielded by Matech at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2010.

Its return to competition in the GT3 Revival Series is therefore going to be one of the highlights of the weekend, in a new championship that celebrates 20 years of GT3 racing.

The GT3 Revival Series will debut in 2026, organised by SRO Motorsports Group in partnership with Peter Auto. The five-round calendar will take place at some of Europe’s most prestigious venues, including the renowned Le Mans Classic, where a special race format will be used. The championship is open to GT3 cars from 2006 to 2013, split into two generations, with Pro-Am pairings combining professional and amateur drivers.

The combination of Martin’s high level endurance racing resumé, alongside Brewer’s rapid adaptation to GT competitions is set to position the #40 Klausen Racing entry as one to watch in the Pro-Am field. The series kicks off this weekend at Circuit Paul Ricard, in the South of France.
