Reigning Intelligent Money British GT Champion Ian Loggie has switched to 2 Seas Motorsport to defend his 2022 drivers' championship.
After taking the honours with RAM Racing last season, Loggie, and teammate Jules Gounon, will drive the No. 1 Mercedes-AMG GT3 for their previous rivals.
Loggie took his first overall drivers' title at the Donington Park finale last year, after taking the Pro-Am championship in 2020 and 2021, while his factory Mercedes teammate, Gounon, won the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS Endurance Cup champion and scored a win and four podiums with Loggie during a British GT part-season.
"I can't wait to be back on the British GT grid this year, wearing the #1 that we worked so hard to earn last year," said Loggie, "That'll be a very proud moment for me.
"After many great years with RAM Racing I felt the time was right for a change, and 2 Seas is a great team. I have history there, having raced in the Gulf 12 Hours with them, so I know how capable they are of turning out a fantastically competitive Mercedes-AMG.
"To be back with Jules is also something special. He's one of the best GT3 drivers in the world and I learned a load working with him last year. With him alongside me for the whole of this season I know we'll only get stronger and stronger as a partnership and the aim is to go for race wins and podiums from the very start as we try and defend this championship title."
2 Seas Motorsport co-owner Isa Al Khalifa said "We are delighted to welcome back Ian, and have Jules join the team for the 2023 British GT campaign. Both drivers have scored some strong results over the past few years, and we had some great battles with them last season.
"Ian is one of the most experienced drivers on the British GT grid and looking to retain his championship title, while Jules' list of accolades while racing in a Mercedes-AMG is second to none, including impressive results at Daytona and Bathurst already this year.
"With this pair on track, and the experienced team we have put together over the past few months, we are confident we can help them push for another strong season."
