Who from PH is going to the Spa 24 hours? If so, stop by and say hi to Sean and I am sure if he is not too busy he can show you round the car! smile

Porsche have loaned out factory driver Sascha Maassen to be the third driver for the Tech 9 squad at the Spa 24 hours later this month. Porsche superstar Sascha Maassen, who drives the Penske Porsche RS Spyder in ALMS, will be driving along side regulars Sean Edwards and Leo Machitski, for the blue ribbon FIA GT event.

“I am looking forward to it. I hear Sean is very good. We could do well, especially if it’s wet” Sascha told Autosport.

“I really can’t wait for this event now, it will be my first 24 hour race and to have Sascha driving along side me is just amazing. I am really looking forward to learning as much as I can off him and hope we can get a really good result” Commented Sean.

Tech 9 will be hoping for a good result at Spa, as so far this season, the luck has not seemed to be with them.

Yeah, it's a good 24 hour race indeed. Spa is an awsome track, my favorite in the world!

First time at Spa since the 1000Ks in 1983 so really looking forward to a proper race track and a proper race unlike LM which has become somewhat dull over the years. Me and the missus are going and might well look you up.

Yeah I think paddock is open to public guys, like normal FIA GT events. Just ask a team member to find me if I am not around and regards to tuition, yeah come and have a chat or send me an e-mail to info@seanedwards.eu.

We'll be there - and looking forward to it!! Anybody know whether the "Parade" and stuff will be going on in Spa town on the Wednesday afternoon/evening? Was a rumour that it wasn't going to happen this year.

I read that in Autosport he was confirmed, what happened there? Didn't he win the Asian Carrera cup??

Legand, sure...

He liked to think he would drive I guess, because we never told autosport that.
