World Endurance stars Thiim and Sorensen to fight for UK championship
Aston Martin Racing’s World Endurance Championship duo, Nicki Thiim and Marco Sorensen, will join TF Sport’s attack on this year’s British GT Championship.
The Danish pair – nicknamed the ‘Dane Train’ in the WEC – will join TF to share its pair of Aston Martin Vantage GT3s with amateur drivers Derek Johnston and Mark Farmer.
Sorensen, 27, will share with Johnston in the 2016 championship-winning car, while Thiim, 28, will partner Farmer in the sister chassis.
The deal means both Thiim and Sorensen will return to UK racing for the first time since their respective Formula Ford programmes a decade ago.
