GT driver, Stephen Stokoe, tested the GLPK Viper at Zolder earlier in the week. The former British GT and ELMS competitor tried the Belgian Chrysler with a view to running in the Belcar Championship next season.
The 26 year old Porsche pilot was thrilled with the chance to lap Zolder in the proven American package, offered courtesy of the Belgian team and his Manager Andy Woolgar.
Antwerp born, Stokoe is no stranger to Belgium, but strangely this was only his second outing in his former mother country, the first being when the Privilege British GT visited Spa Francorchamps in 2000.
Undeterred by the steep learning curve ahead of him, the long time Donington based driver commented "I really enjoyed driving the Viper. The conditions weren't ideal but GLPK allowed me to have a good impression of the car. They are a very professional team and I'm grateful for the chance".
Stokoe is considering his future at present. "Yes well it's that time of year. I have good options available with my present team, Cirtek Motorsport who have served me well this year, but I am keeping my options open. I would like to have a crack at the Castrol Belcar championship, and we have some opportunities to look at in other areas also".
GLPK Team Manager Jorge Segers, formally of Eurotech-Marcos fame, added "Stephen is a very competent driver and we would love to have him on our squad. I've been watching his career unfold over the past 12 months and he's proved himself as a front runner. We are concluding our testing programme now and will be happy to consider offers from Stephen and Michael Mallock who we also tested recently".
