Chandhok partnered with Germany’s Jan Seyffarth behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 car in the Pro Cup category of the series.
Also participating was former GP2 driver Armaan Ebrahim who is partnering with France’s Julien Jousse and Holland’s Melroy Heemskerk in the Pro-Am category with a BMW Z4 GT3. Ebrahim is part of the BMW Sports Trophy Team India squad along with Jousse and Heemskerk.
