GPM Racing, in association with Dragon Racing and headquartered in the vibrant city of Dubai, is thrilled to announce the addition of Denis Bulatov to our team of esteemed drivers for the upcoming Hankook Abu Dhabi 6 Hours endurance race at the Yas Marina Circuit.
Denis Bulatov, a dynamic and skilled 25-year-old driver, brings a wealth of experience from his successful stints in both GT3 and GT4 classes. In the 2023 season, Denis showcased his exceptional driving prowess by being crowned the ADAC GT4 Vice-Champion. His impressive performance didn’t stop there; he ranked third in the GT4 class in the internal Mercedes driver’s championship and secured a commendable 5th place overall in the GT4 European Series for 2023.
Denis’s journey in the world of endurance racing has been nothing short of remarkable. He previously clinched the GTC Race Championship in the GT4 class and stood on the podium multiple times during the Blancpain GT Series in the 2018-19 seasons. His track record speaks volumes of his skill, dedication, and resilience.
As we gear up for the Creventic’s 24 Hour Series race, having Denis as our third driver is a significant boost to our team’s capabilities. His extensive experience in an AMG GT4 is considered invaluable for our aspirations in the endurance racing arena.
Keith Gatehouse, the driver and team owner of GPM Racing, expressed his enthusiasm: “I am pleased to have Denis on board with the team. I have watched all of his GT4 European Series races last season and was very impressed by his grit and acumen piloting the AMG. Denis did upwards of 20,000km in the AMG and this experience, coupled with our co-driver Ramez’s, will be invaluable in our quest to win the class at one of our ‘hometown’ tracks, Yas Marina Circuit. Our preparation has been intense, precise, and a lot of important knowledge has been gained both on and off the track, in the cockpit, and with the data.”
The GPM Racing by Dragon Racing Mercedes AMG GT4, carrying the number 408, will see a formidable trio of Keith Gatehouse, Ramez Azzam, and Denis Bulatov steering it to victory. The team’s meticulous preparation, combined with the drivers’ collective experience, sets the stage for a promising performance in this prestigious endurance race.
