20 oktober 2007Mosler on pole, PK Corvette closes in on title
For the third time this season, the Mosler-Chevrolet MT900 of Vincent Radermecker and Stéphane Lémeret took pole. The duo will start ahead of all the others in the last race of the Mediagroep Van Dyck Belcar championship, tomorrow at 15.45, right after the FIA GT Championship finale. Radermecker was quickest in both the session on Friday and Saturday and with a time of 1.32.610, he was the only one to go quicker than 1.33. He is ahead of his teammate Lambert, who put the other Mosler in second position. We’ve so a full Mosler front row, with Radermecker – Lémeret on pole in the DHL MT900 and Kelders – Lambert second in the Gulf Mosler.
The main contender for the 2007 Division 1 GT3 title, the PK Corvette Z06 of Kumpen – Longin finished in third and will start with next to him the third Mosler of G&A with Kenis-De Keersmaecker behind the wheel.
His man opponent, the GPR Porsche of Dumarey – Soulet, was hit by some bad luck in both sessions. On Friday, the team forgot to put in the ID-plug and the team was disqualified. On Saturday, Maxime Soulet tried too hard and went off early in the session. He managed to recover, but finished in a disappointing 10th overall. Their teammates Duez and Maes got it right and finished in sixth overall.
“Without help from the sky, it will be difficult to beat the Corvette”, admits Maxime Soulet. “But there is the Driver Challenge also. Guillaume is second on 7 units of the actual leader, D2 champion Bart Couwberghs, and he might still win that one. But there also, we should at least finish in the top-3 to secure our chances.”
Julien Schroyen as the surprise of the afternoon. He put the Sport Garage Ferrari 430 on a fine fifth spot. Behind him,the two other Italian GT’S finished in 8th and 9th. 7th went to the GS Dodge, while the AD Viper was 11th, in front of the girl Dodge and the Bouvy-Loix Prospeed Porsche.
In Division 2 NGT took a seventh consecutive pole and in D3 it was CEO Racing that won the fight for pole.
