Founded in 2013, at home in the Nürburgring industrial park, the GetSpeed team is a professional and polished outfit with Aaron pushing hard for class wins. With such a young but highly talented driver behind the wheel, the team is excited to get cracking in 2023. Here is what they had to say:
“We are very pleased that Aaron has decided to join GetSpeed despite numerous great offers. His performance at this age already gives us great expectations and we will bring in all our experience from working with young drivers as well as the Pro-Drivers from Mercedes-AMG. He has done a great number of testing and guest entries in 2022 with the GT3 from Affalterbach. Therefore, it is the next right step for him to enter a full season in the GTWC Endurance. We’re sure that we will hear a lot more from Aaron in GT racing – of course with GetSpeed!”
