Vanierschot and Longin managed to overtake all but one car after a spin during the warm-up lap and by doing so, they forced the Viper team to keep the champagne in the refrigerator until the last race at Zolder on the 8th of October<BR> <BR> With the GL-PK Viper on pole and alongside him the Marcos of PowerTour contenders Euser and Lockie, we had a very fast start. But a very spectacular crash for Cyriel Raes, right on the startgrid, immediately caused a three lap safety car situation.<BR> <BR> After half an hour Kumpen was in the lead in front of Lockie, Kuismanen (Audi 80 Biturbo) and Freddy van Roey on the GL-PK Porsche 996. After his first stop, Euser got round in a very fast 2'26'' but before half distance the Marcos driver retired with gear troubles...…<BR> <BR> The way to their sixth victory was now open for Cohen and Kumpen. Vanierschot made a fantastic return to second, helped by a puncture on the Van Roey-Geboers Porsche. The latter even lost the third spot on the overall podium to Kuismanen and Hasenbichler, who were winners of the touring class.<BR> <BR> In the GTB-class, Bruynoghe and F-3000-driver Bas Leinders became race winners won the championship. Second and third in the race were the Porsches of Sturesson-Vertee and Van Renterghem-Hahn. We look forward to the last race at Zolder.</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>
