Giuseppe Sperlinga, the boss of GPR Racing has been jailed for 15 years after admitting to two charges of drug smuggling.
Two 'Aston Martin Brussels' entries were announced back in April, and the report said that a new 'Brussels Racing' outfit would be running them, and not GPR, as GPR had to 'temporarily cease it's activities' due to Sperlinga being 'currently unavailable to fulfill his role as team boss'- I guess we know why now....

Presumably AM Brussels weren't able to pull together a deal for the 24, and are just running BRCC, as Marcel said?
