[11] At the end of the year, Bartone joined GetSpeed Performance to race on a part-time basis in International GT Open, [12] and the GT class of the 2023–24 Asian Le Mans Series. [13]
Moving to Europe full-time for 2024, Bartone returned to GetSpeed Performance to race full-time in both GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and International GT Open. [14] [15] Racing in the Silver Cup in the former alongside James Kell and Yannick Mettler, Bartone scored a class win at the 24 Hours of Spa and finished fifth in the class standings. [16] In the latter, Bartone shared his car with Fabian Schiller and won the season opening race at Algarve before scoring two further podiums to end the year fifth in points. [17] During the year, Bartone also raced with the team for a one-off appearance in the Le Mans Cup alongside Steve Jans, [18] and returned with them to contest the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series in the GT class. [19]
Remaining with GetSpeed Performance for 2025, Bartone began the year by making his debut in the 24 Hours of Daytona in the GTD Pro class, in which he finished fifth. [20] For the rest of the year, Bartone raced with the team in both GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and International GT Open. [21] [22] In the former, Bartone scored a best class result of fourth at Monza, whereas in GT Open, Bartone scored two second-place finishes at Le Castellet and Red Bull Ring and three further podiums to end the year seventh in points. [23] [24] During 2025, Bartone raced with the team in a one-off appearance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans-supporting round of the Le Mans Cup, in which he and co-driver Steve Jans won race one. [25]
