MOTV8 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 CM tells me teh Day V Tec vette is the reigning Dutch SuperCar GTB/GT4 class champ. They have ditched the Gulf Oil livery, thankfully, but judging by teh reaction to SRT's new livery this one won't be received any better... Teh young guy is Milan Dontje, just moving up from karting and is teh brother of racer Indy Dontje. Teh other guy is not Max Koebolt as reported earlier. Koebolt actually drives for Audi in Blancpain. This guy is Ferdinand Kool, from teh Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Oh yea, here are those tubelinks to GT Open in Estoril, Race One starts 6:45 am Saturday: AND Race Two starts at 4:45 am Sunday: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Teh livery isn't bad, per se, it's just not awesome, but I'd rather see so-so livery and more Corvettes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 There's two in Dutch SuperCar Challenge, DSCC from now on. SRT will be teh Super GT class, and the Day v Tec vette returns in "GTB". They do have a Youtube channel! DSCC: https://www.youtube.com/user/supercarchallengetv/featured I don't get teh impression they stream live, so we wait for races to be posted I think. Teh offical DSCC website, be prepared to have your browser translate: http://www.supercarchallenge.nl/ For large displacements, the roar and hum of the V8 and V10 we have to be in the Super GT and GT division. In the Super GT we have a Belgian representative, but what one: GTE Corvette of the internationally renowned SRT. At the wheel sit former F1 test driver Jeffrey van Hooydonk and rapid Nicolas Vandierendonck. Their ambition? Winning, of course? Timing Saturday, May 9 15.00h-16.00h: Supersport Sport (Race 1) 16.55u-17.55u: Super GT GT GTB (Race 1) Sunday, May 10 10.05u-10.35u: Super Lights (Race 1) 11.35u-12.35u: Supersport Sport (Race 2) 12.50u-13.50u: Super Lights (Race 2) 14.05u-15.05u: SuperGT-GT GTB ( Race 2) A Blueberry Mosler?

Shifty Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So I guess I misunderstood...I thought teh Solaris Vette was going to run in both series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 They are running two series, GT Open and their "local" Italian GT series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Race One at teh Dutch SCC saw SRT finish second in class to a Viper, and teh Day V Tec Corvette finished 5th in GTB class... They have live timing and scoring at: https://livetiming2.raceresults.nu/zolder#screen-results Dutch blurb: http://www.supercarchallenge.nl/nl/belgische_rijders_meteen_naar_winst_op_eigen_bodem.html That GT2 chassis with a honking GT1 motor will be a handful on unfamiliar Pirelli rubber.....

MOTV8 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Not a peep from Solaris or CM as to why they are not at Estoril.....is Portugal too far from Italy or something? If they dropped out of teh International GT Open to focus on teh Italian GT, and then finished P15 and P14 there, maybe they should consider going back to Camaro racing...#justsayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTV8 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yea, again, no word from Solaris. Either they dropped out of International GT Open altogether or skipped Estoril, I have no clue, and CM has not uttered a peep, so they don't know or are not saying. SRT had another solid race today, finishing 2nd again, this time behind a Volvo! Teh kid and Mr. Kool did take victory in teh GTB class though!

Shifty Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Also, I notice that my new favorite driver in IGTO, Jose Perez Aicart, didn't race at Estoril. Ben Evans said who was sitting in for him, but didn't say why he wasn't there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 That, I have no idea about. However, finally a peep was heard. Solaris fired Costantini and is running just teh Italian GT series: http://www.solarismotorsport.com/en/rescisso-il-contratto-tra-solaris-motorsport-e-stefano-costantini/ I'm not positive, but I think he was teh squatter!

MOTV8 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 They replaced teh squatter with Daniel Keilwitz, who is very good, and had Callaway help work on teh car before teh next round at Monza: http://www.corvettemotorsport.com/news/italian-gt-rd2-monza-preview-669 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
