“The GT2 championship is evolving significantly in terms of quality. It’s now part of GT3 race weekends, and technical regulation changes should make the cars substantially faster,” explains RTR Projects owner Tomáš Miniberger, highlighting the series’ growing potential.
Unlike 2023, when Jan Krabec competed solo in the AM class, the team plans to pair him with different co-drivers throughout the season, opening opportunities for other racers.
“We see enormous potential in GT2 and want to make this level of European racing accessible to more drivers. Our goal is to diversify the lineup and, if needed, field a second car,” says Miniberger.
For the opening event at Paul Ricard, Krabec will team up with Homola in the prestigious Pro-AM category.
“We’re stepping into a new chapter, and we’ll see what it brings. I’m excited to fine-tune the car and collaborate with Maťo. Last season, we worked with our chief engineer, Tomáš Fanta, to continuously make the car faster. It’s playful, turns beautifully, and is a joy to drive. I’m curious to see if we can squeeze even more out of it,” says Krabec.
The updated rules for 2024 are expected to significantly increase speeds across the GT2 grid, with a larger and more competitive field anticipated.
“We’ll likely have a lower BoP (Balance of Performance), and we’ve got new dampers. Against the competition, we’ll aim to maximize the car’s low weight advantage,” says team director and chief engineer Tomáš Fanta.
Maťo Homola joins RTR Projects with experience testing the GTX model. He briefly tested the higher-performance but heavier GT2 version during spring trials in Valencia.
“Overall, I like the X-BOW. It’s responsive, quick, and enjoyable to drive. But the stopwatch and lap times will be the ultimate judge,” says the 29-year-old, a two-time FIA ETCC runner-up. 
Homola will have limited time to familiarize himself with Krabec before Paul Ricard.
“Jan is the reigning AM class champion. We know he’s fast, and I’ll do my best to help us achieve the highest possible finish. My goal is to be, if not the fastest, then close to the fastest KTM on the grid,” Homola says.
Krabec plans to leverage his 2023 experience. Though officially in the AM class, he frequently competed against PRO-AM cars and is familiar with most of the field.
“Even when racing in AM, we often found ourselves among the PRO-AM cars. I can say I already know most of our rivals,” says the 41-year-old driver.
For now, the duo is confirmed for the first event.
“Maťo has scheduling conflicts with other racing activities, which opens up opportunities for other drivers to try GT2,” says Fanta.
He believes the GT2 European Series is taking a major step toward greater professionalism.
“Joining GT3 weekends means more publicity, larger crowds, and more exciting circuits. If we look at the calendar, some tracks are familiar with existing data, while others, like Spa-Francorchamps, Barcelona, and Misano, are among Europe’s most iconic circuits,” Fanta notes.
Other events will take place at Paul Ricard, Hockenheim, and Monza, where Krabec finished in the top three overall during the first race of last season. The 2024 season kicks off at Paul Ricard during the first weekend of April.
