What the 2009 season holds for the GRM drivers: Andre Couto

Andre Couto (Portugal), residing in Macau, will be in action again with LEXUS TEAM SARD led by Team Principal, Shin Kato, and shall strive through the 9 rounds of the SUPER GT this season, driving DUNLOP SARD SC430, No. 39. This year Kohei Hirate, who is now under the grand spotlight as one young hopeful driver of Toyota, will join Couto as his teammate.

ANDRE COUTO:

"This will be my 6th season with SARD, and I want to take this moment to thank my team again who has placed trust in me for all these years. SUPER GT is getting to be an ever tougher, competitive race series, but we can make good use of the data we have on our Dunlop tyres, and for sure see some fine results. Kohei and I will tag up strong and give our best!"

GRM drivers, Andre Couto and Loic Duval will kick off the SUPER GT season at Okayama, on March 21st and 22nd.
