Euro GTs At Spa This Weekend
The Euro GT Series has had a troubled 2003 season but the double header 40 minute races at Spa this coming weekend (one race on Saturday and the other on Sunday) might help to blow away the cobwebs.

There are some interesting entrants for this race with the Wieth Motorsport Ferrari 550 and the Knook / H&P Stealth B6 both expected to appear. There is an entry too from PSI Motorsport with a Porsche GT3-R, plus a similar car entered by Dutch team Force APP Racing. The favourite for the race win is likely to be the formidable Cor Euser in the mighty Marcos LM600.

Peter Cook is following his familiar pattern of entering races in a number of championships: he’s entered both a Chrysler Viper for himself, and a twin turbo Porsche for Paul Daniels.

The Knook / H&P team is also posting an entry in the N-GT class for their title challenging Marcos Mantis (photo). Therein lies an unusual strategic tale, because drivers Peter van der Kolk and Rob Knook will swap seats in both cars during the compulsory pit stop during both races, in an attempt to both enjoy the grunt of the Stealth and retain their N-GT championship lead.
