Vortex SAS

The team made their 24H Series debut in 2016 at the season-opening Dubai 24 Hour with a GC10-V8 built by GC Automobile, qualifying on pole in the SP2 class, being the first non-GT3 car on the grid in 18th overall.

[1] Vortex downsized their operation to just two events in 2018, failing to finish at the 12H Navarra and managing enough laps to be classified as fifth in class at the 24 Hours of Barcelona.

[6] 2019 marked the return of the GC10 which took a maiden win for Vortex SAS in the season-opener at Dubai, whilst the 1.0 SPX entry retired shortly before halfway distance.

The 1.0 returned for the 24 Hours of Barcelona for the final round of the European segment of the season, qualifying on pole and finishing in third, one lap clear of the next car.

[8][9] Vortex were one of four GTX teams to enter in the first round at Dubai, despite being 100 laps down on the class winner, they took the flag in second position.

701 finished 15th overall and 3rd in class at the 24 Hours of Sebring, thus allowing Philippe Bonnel to secure GTX drivers' and teams' championship for Vortex V8, with 96 points despite not winning a single race.

At the 2022 edition of the Dubai 24 Hour, mechanical troubles delayed the 701 car almost to the point of non-classification, amassing enough laps to be classified as third in GTX.

At the Trophy-season-closing round at Yas Marina Circuit, the 701 finished in fourth, ending the season 2nd in the GTX standings of the Middle East Trophy, twelve points shy of Razoon – More than Racing.

Vortex's debut at Bathurst yielded a fourth-place finish in class and 23rd overall after causing a few cautions, mostly due to spins at various points on the track and a lengthy pit stop.

The 2.0 model's first European Creventic race came at the 12 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, in which both cars managed to finish in a 1-2 class formation, lead by the Nr.

The 1.0 would make its competitive debut in the VdeV Endurance Series at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, competing in the 4-hour-long season opener with GPC Motorsport, the #20 car being driven by Iradj Alexander and Alexandre Coigny.

The car's improvements from its predecessor include a 120 kg kerb weight drop, PKM suspension and many changes to assist with cooling the brakes and amending many issues the 1.0 had.

A full-width rear wing is another complete change, in an effort to improve downforce which is assisted by the bodywork that will help to direct air rearwards.

[21][19] On its event debut, the 2.0 took pole position at the 12 Hours of Kuwait, averaging a time, across all three session, 1.1 seconds quicker than the next GTX car.
