Spa 24 Hours

Two weeks to go until the race - Hansgerd Bramann dropped in on testing

---

Quite a few teams were out testing yesterday including FIA GT teams and lots of mouthwatering guest starters like a Stealth, the Pagani Zonda of Anthony Kumpen, the Zakspeed Viper (2 times winner of the 24 hours at the Nuerburgring) and a couple of Belcar cars.

Martin Short was there too with the Rollcentre crew to test various different setups for the Mosler including a "short back" version where they left the back end off the car! Furthermore, the Rollcentre team used the day to give the 3 Spa newbe pilots in the team the opportunity to get familiar with one of Europe's finest circuits. A second Mosler will be entered by the Perspective team.

As just has been reported on DSC, the Pagani won't be at Spa for the race and the Stealth still has go through the crash test procedure. Anyone on here coming to the Ardennes next week ?
