Joost Custers reports that Bert Longin, the 2000 title-holder, has left the AD-Sports team and joins the GLPK squad, to race the team’s second Viper. Longin will partner Philip Verellen.
The team were at Zandvoort last Wednesday and Thursday, testing their FIA GT Viper. It was the first outing this season after the car had been rebuilt over the winter.
On Wednesday, Wim Daems and Anthony Kumpen gave the car its shake-down. Bert Longin and Philip Verellen were also present to gain some Viper experience, before their car is ready. The FIA-bound chassis is now in Valencia for the FIA GT test.
Jörge Segers, former development engineer for Marcos, is the new Team manager at GLPK. The car in the photograph is the ’99 FIA GT chassis.
The Belcar Championship will also see another Viper, this one to be driven by Robert Dierick and Bernard Winderickx, and run by Winderickx Sport. Laurent Duquesne indicates that this car will run with a sequential gearbox.
As reported elsewhere on this site, a Nissan Skyline is destined for the Belcar too.
