A1GP Team Monaco Clivio Piccione is to switch to sportscars this year, having signed for the Hexis Aston Martin team in the new GT1 World Championship.
Clivio Piccione said “I met Philippe Dumas [Hexis] when we heard about the FIA GT1 World Championship a few months ago,”
“We then had in mind to create a common structure to Hexis AMR and Team Monaco. Unfortunately, Team Monaco couldn’t gather enough financial means to take part in this new championship, and our project fell through. Despite everything, I kept good relations with Philippe, and I showed my interest in joining Hexis AMR’s structure.
“Driving a GT is a first for me. But I’m serene and on good terms with Hexis AMR: I trust them and they trust me.”
