The 13-race series opens this weekend with a pair of 90-minute races at Sonoma Raceway.<\/p>\n<p>Ghandour has continued to grow his experience, having moved up the ladder to the GT3 ranks with TR3 Racing after proving himself a winner in single-make racing with the team. Formed by Arthur, Oliver, and Gregory Romanelli brothers,\u00a0 TR3 Racing has continued to diversify its racing programs as the team looks to open a new chapter with the new GT3 platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a flawless transition to Mercedes,\u201d said team principal Gregory Romanelli. \u201cThanks to all the personnel behind AMG, and especially Julian Schoch (Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Customer Racing\u00a0Project Manager), who has made everything so simple for us. We have been running the car for a few months now and we\u2019ve gotten up to speed fairly quickly. The SRO field will mainly be Mercedes, so we can\u2019t wait to put ourselves up against teams that have been running the car for quite some time now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The driver line up of Ghandour and Morad will look to get a fast start to the season with the double-header set in California\u2019s wine country this weekend. Ghandour, a native of Lebanon now living in California, is in his fourth season with\u00a0TR3 Racing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to have Daniel in the car with Ziad,\u201d said Romanelli. \u201cWe have had some great battles against each other in the past, and I can say I\u2019m happy to have Daniel on our side now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morad, a 32-year-old Canadian, is a three-time SRO winner and has won three championships in addition to numerous karting titles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really happy to join TR3 alongside Ziad,\u201d Morad said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see another top-level team switching over to the Mercedes-AMG platform. With so much prior success in the series, I\u2019m very much looking forward to get to work with the team and tackling this new challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Action at Sonoma opens with testing on both Wednesday and Thursday, practice on Friday and qualifying on Saturday morning.
