            ... finally the GT1 grid gets more interesting! I hate to see that lonely Saleen... there are 3 Ford GT!!!!

            Where is Lamborghini? I think it is a shame they are not represented in GT2. In the past, I have seen TVR and Panoz. Where have they gone?

              Thu 06 May 2010 SPYKER SQUADRON CONFIDENT AHEAD OF SPA 1000 KM

              Zeewolde, May 6, 2010 - Four weeks after the opening race of the Le Mans Series season in France the series will be racing in the next 1000 KM race at the famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Spyker Squadron will enter the Belgian round with Peter Dumbreck and Tom Coronel behind the wheel of the Spyker C8 Laviolette GT2R.

              The 1000 KM of Spa will be the last race in preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in six weeks time. A lot of teams will use the race as a rehearsal for Le Mans. The factory teams of Audi and Peugeot will enter three cars each and with fifteen former Formula 1 drivers in the race and seventeen GT2 cars entered for this event the competition is stronger than ever before.

              A strong performance at the Paul Ricard circuit was not rewarded and the team and drivers are now hoping to take revenge this weekend with a better result.
              Last season Peter and Tom also raced together in the Spyker C8 Laviolette GT2R in the 1000 KM of Spa and finished in fifth place in the GT2 category.

              Peter Dumbreck: "Despite bad luck in practice we were really strong at Spa in 2009. At Paul Ricard we did really well as the race progressed, but there as well we had some bad luck at the beginning when I was hit by another driver. I really like Spa and fortunately Tom is also very good at Spa. Our hopes are high!"

              Peter van Erp: "Shortly after our car returned from France we started working on it. The engineers have checked if we could change the suspension geometry a bit so that we can make better use of the new 2010 specification Michelin tires. The result is that, if it is dry during the free practice sessions, we will start testing a number of updates."

              During the autograph session on Sunday morning (9:40 - 10:10) Spyker Squadron will have new autograph cards. These cards are printed by our new partner Reproka Visuele Communicatie and will be available for all Spyker Squadron fans in the paddock.

              The 1000 KM of Spa is the second round of the 2010 Le Mans Series season and will start at 11.30 local time on Sunday. Eurosport will have live coverage of the race throughout Europe.
