Because of the conditions, with some sand on the track surface, the rear tyres heated up quicker than the fronts which caused a tendency for understeer, but the car appeared quite driver friendly and a pleasure to drive".<BR> <BR> He continued. "The (Jan) Lammers team are very professional and there was a good atmosphere".<BR> <BR> The crack Dutch outfit, headed up by ex-F1 man Lammers were pleased to offer Kumpen the chance to drive as currently they are in search of a new driver to strengthen their squad for the coming 2002 season.<BR> <BR> The Belgian, based in Hasselt, near to the Zolder circuit, had campaigned the 2001 FIA GT Championship with French team Paul Belmondo Racing, experienced life with a Dutch team Manager and team mate in October this year, when he and Mike Hezemans came a strong 3rd in their American Viper Racing Chrysler Viper GTS-R in the Petit Le Mans in an essentially Dutch run effort.<BR> <BR> In summary, Kumpen added "I have not made any decision on my career for 2002, but Racing for Holland is high on the list. I have received offers from other FIA GT teams but I will evaluate all options and make a calculated decision. I would like to thank Jan and the team for giving me a solid choice to move into sportscars".<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
